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 diocesan museum, that is hosted inside the cathedral displays an extraordenary collection of medieval art, including some Romanesque reliquaries. Here are the Magi adorating Virgin and Child. The heads of the three horses on the very left are very typical. I will upload a second photo of this reliquary next.
