Huesca - Catedral de Santa Maria

Huesca - Catedral de Santa Maria
It took me probably ten minutes to descend from the tower of the cathedral. When I had reached the ground and looked up, the weather had worsened. Time to stay inside and visit the cathedral´s museum, where I learned that the construction of the now gothic cathedral started end of the 13th century. It took 300 years to complete it. Actually a mosque had been here and served as a church for nearly two hundred years, since Huesca was conquered in 1096 by Christian troops led by Peter I of Aragon.
