Huesca - Catedral de Santa Maria

The "Catedral de Santa Maria" in Huesca got erected over 300 years. The building started end of the 13th century in gothic style, replacing a mosque that had served as a church, since Huesca was conquered in 1096 by Christian troops led by Peter I of Aragon.

The thunderstorm, that had met me upstairs, when I was up on the belltower, continued and it got pretty dark inside the cathedral. Here is the central nave. Only the apse with the huge, white alabaster altarpiece, created by important Spanish sculptor Damia Forment around 1520, is well illuminated.
