DAY 2 - 06/09/2012 - JOUR 2
On the first day already, we were extremely impressed by the
cathedral and its huge bell tower. So we decided to go inside and our
admiration was only strengthened: stained glass windows, altars, chapels, sculptures,
paintings, organ… Everything is so perfect and from the inside the building looks
even bigger.
Facts about the cathedral:
Murcia catedral, la catedral de Santa Maria, was built
between 1394 and 1462 but was constantly renovated and improved until the end
of the 18th century, which means that it is made of a variety of styles: baroque,
gothic, neoclassic, plataresque, renaissance…
It is composed of twenty-three chapels and three naves. The
bell tower is the symbol of the city and is made of five different parts, each
one of a different style. It is 95 meters high, the highest tower bell in
Spain, and contains 25 bells.
