And if you go to Myeongdong Cathedral, you can see the next development of the barrel vault—the groin vault!

Thanks for all those fascinating stories, Robert! Wow! Neat bell; great site for the church. Interesting observation on the similarities between the historical experiences of Catholics and Buddhists under the capricious reign of various Joseon-dynasty kings, as well.

“…(ooo, pointed barrel vaults)…” Oh yeah!
