[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The cathedral was begun in 1575, but in 1586, while still under construction, it was partially destroyed by the cannons of Francis Drake, and not completed until 1612. Alterations were made between 1912 and 1923 by the first archibishop of Cartagena, who covered the church with stucco and painted it to look like marble. He commissioned the dome on the tower. Recent restoration has uncovered the lovely limestone on the building's exterior. Apart from the tower's top, the church has basically preserved its original form. It has a fortlike appearance and a simply decorated interior with three naves and semicircular archways supported on high stone columns. The main retable, worked in gold leaf, dates from the 18th century.

Hola Maria,
me gusta mucho como elejiste el punto de observación. Nunca es fácil tomar este tipo de foto. Los colores son muy brillantes así como la luz.
Un abrazo

Bonito campanario con colores muy bellos y bien saturados. Me gusta el angulo de toma y el formato vertical para captar muy bien la altura de la torre. Usaste bien la luz y los detalles se ven claros. Gracias Maria :-)
