Museo de la Ciudad

posted by leisenmann on 5 August 2010 at 16:07

The Museo de la Ciudad gives a detailed and thorough history of the development of Murcia through the ages from the pre historic age to the present day. I was particularly interested by the accounts of the part that Murcians played in the uprising against the French forces during the peninsula war. There are also seminars and concerts organised by the museum which I imagine would be worth catching if your visit happens to coincide with any.

Catedral de Santa Maria

posted by pisaman on 5 August 2010 at 15:52

This Cathedral has has had a long and contested history which bears witness to the complex history of the region. It began life as a mosque before becoming a Cathedral in the high Gothic style. Today it has a Baroque façade. Nothing of the original mosque remains except for the foundations. However, much of the original flamboyant Gothic interior remains in tact. There are also some amazing views of the city to be seen from the top of the tower.
