A long cruise - Cartagena, Spain - part 5

Cathedral Church of Saint Mary in Murcia, Spain.

The foundation stone was placed in 1388; however regular construction did not begin until 1394. The structure was worked on until 1467 (a good pace back in those days). There were changes and additions and it was not really completed until the 18th century.

It was built on the foundation of a mosque (extremely common in Spain) and it is the only cathedral in the Cartagena/Murcia diocese.
