CarMalaga.Com Tip: More about Murcia |
| The Cathedral is the
finest monument in the region. Its construction began towards the
end of the fourteenth century, and despite the modifications it has
undergone, the Gothic structure of the building is still evident.
It has three naves, a transept which barely extends beyond the naves,
and a seven-sided apse. The work was not completed until the mid eighteenth
century, and the building reflects the styles of the different periods.
Of its three portals, the fifteenthcentury Apostles entrance is Gothic,
the sixteenth-century Chains entrance is plateresque, and the most
original portal, to the west, is rococo in style and was completed
in 1754 by Jaime Sort Melia. It has been interpreted by some as an
immense altarpiece, whereas others see it as a religious adaptation
of German rococo theatre. It is a well balanced mix of concave and
rectilinear elements, together with classical motifs such as large
columns, and rococo elements such as decorative stone chippings and
sculptures characteristic of this artistic movement. |
