600 years of fervous Photo

Photographer’s Note

Murcia Cathedral has many Renaissance and Baroque elements, although its interior is basically Gothic.
It was created in 1394, in the place where an Arab mosque once stood. It was Bishop Fernando de Pedrosa who laid the first stone. The interior is Gothic. The façade is Baroque and was constructed according to Jaime Bort's plans. It has a tower 95 metres high which took over two hundred years to be built and in which main architects were involved, Ventura Rodríguez being the most noteworthy. The Chapel of los Vélez is flamboyant Gothic and has a star-shaped vault, while the Chapel of los Junterones is Renaissance.

Hello Yves,
Great b&w shot, I love the perspective, the old look and the sky, great framing also. I'm too lazy to read the note:)
Best regards,
Gordana

Great focus and sharpness. Your aperature was well chosen. I love the architecture of the building but your point of view and composition does it justice. Well done.
