I was lucky with this photograph, only on Sundays fountain is switched off because of summer cinema. On the other days reflections on the water are impossible...

Cathedral La Seu was build on the site of an existing Arab mosque. The legend has it that one night in 1229, as Jaime I was on his way to recapture Majorca, his fleet was struck by a terrible storm. He vowed to the Virgin Mary that if he survived the storm, he would erect a church in her honor. And after the storm had blown over, finding himself safe and sound, he immediately undertook the project. It was a vow that was to take a long time to fulfill. Begun in 1230, the cathedral was finished in 1601.
