Almudena Cathedral

posted by nhook on 8 December 2010 at 09:10

I love the interior of this cathedral, so normal and cathedrally from the outside, then the inside has chapels in a whole heap of artistic stlyes. The outside is so bland to match the Teatro Real opposite so I guess i'll forgive it.

La Vegueta

posted by wllora on 7 December 2010 at 12:15

I'd highly recommend spending a morning or afternoon in the Vegueta district of Las Palmas at the start or end of your holiday. There's so much to see, the Bishop's Palace is so ornate and interesting, and Santa Ana Cathedral is lovely. Sadly we didn't have time for Columbus's stopover house at Casa de Colon but there's always next time.

La Manquita

The one-armed-lady is Malaga's cathedral, so-called because it's only got one tower, although it looks so lopsided two would have been better! It's gorgeous inside and it's really cool to see bits of the old mosque it was built on top of.

Calle Molina Lario 9, just inland of the ferry port

Se Cathedral

posted by lberkheimer on 2 December 2010 at 17:18

Built in 1147 this cathedral was built on the remains of a msosque as well as on part of a Roman road. The excavations of the mosque can be seen in the cloisters. The cathedral iself is impressive but successive rebuilding after earthquakes have left a mixed bag of architectural treasures, but it is imposing nonetheless.

Sa Seu

posted by jswain on 1 December 2010 at 12:08

Built by modifying a former mosque as many churches in the moorish-turned-christian areas this cathedral was started in 1306 as a thanks to the seas for not letting Jaime I'sts fleets get shipwrecked, and was added to by the inimitable Gaudi in the 20th century. Amazing architecture both inside and out, I can see why it's one of the most important sights in the Balearics!

right next to the amudaina palace, you'll see both as you walk along the sea front by the marina/parc de la mer
