Info Part of the cloister, Abbey of Saint-Michel-de-Cuxa, Codalet, Pyrénées-Orientales department, France. About half of the stonework was transferred to the Museum The Cloisters at Fort Tryon Park in Washington Heights, Manhattan at the beginning 20th century, where a copy of this cloister (and others) was built. So the cloister in the original Abbey is incomplete, for a part of the original forms the cloister of the copy of the Museum in New York.

Oppose Just a QI for me. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 03:42, 9 April 2020 (UTC)- Support The motif may not seem special at first glance, but the quality is outstanding. --Milseburg (talk) 14:09, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

- Support per others. This is a very odd sight to me since I know The Cloisters so well (by the way, I'd say they're in Inwood, not Washington Heights). It's painful to see the results of what sure looks like vandalism in removing part of this cloister to ship abroad. I think it would be good to add your description here to the file description. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:24, 10 April 2020 (UTC)
Done Added to the file description. According to Wikipedia "The Cloisters" is situated in Washington Heights, Inwood Hill Park is north of it (see also Openstreetmap). --Llez (talk) 09:00, 10 April 2020 (UTC)
- I guess Fort Tryon Park is in Washington Heights, but The Cloisters sure is pretty far north to not be in Inwood. I guess there's no reason to try to resolve a minor Manhattanite dispute about where one neighborhood ends and another starts, relating to the edges of one neighborhood or another. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:18, 10 April 2020 (UTC)
- Just a post-script, though, from w:Washington Heights: "modern usage defines the neighborhood as running north from Hamilton Heights at 155th Street to Inwood, topping out at just below Hillside Avenue or Dyckman Street, depending on the source." Identify me with the source that says that Dyckman Street is part of Inwood, period (not its southern boundary, which strikes me as absurd), and that having Hillside Avenue be the southern boundary of the neighborhood makes sense. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:27, 10 April 2020 (UTC)
- +1 to the Cloisters being in Inwood ... "Washington Heights" to me means the area around Columbia. Inwood is where the E train ends, and where Manhattan has its highest natural ground. Daniel Case (talk) 18:58, 12 April 2020 (UTC)
- I think you're confusing Morningside Heights (near Columbia, more or less following the course of Morningside Drive and west of Morningside Park, which extends from 110th St. to 123rd St.) with Washington Heights (from 155th to above 191st). And Inwood is where the A ends/starts. The E goes to Jamaica, Queens. Also, Bennett Park is in Washington Heights, which indeed has the highest natural ground in Manhattan. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:28, 13 April 2020 (UTC)

- Oppose Nice QI but for FP I'm missing something more special. The light is rather harsh, the composition unconvincing. Perhaps a step to the left would put the water in the middle of the center column and the oval fountain more right / into the center of the cloister. --Podzemnik (talk) 22:58, 11 April 2020 (UTC)
