I travel the world Part 86: Cathedral of Santa Maria of Palma

in #travel8 years ago

 

The Cathedral of Santa Maria of Palma 

One of my favorite places in Palma is the Cathedral of Santa Maria of Palma. The church is impressive and the constructon has begun in 1229 but finished in 1601... That's such a long time to build this church. Our ancestors had real vision... I only know of one project at our time which is taking that long: The construction of the Berlin SXF Airport in Germany..

Check out how huge the Cathedral is

It is beautiful, look at these details

The inside is so beautiful

Many people come everyday to visit the Cathedral

Gaudi started a renovation in 1901 but  abandoned it in 1914 because he got in a fight with the contractor

I have been to many churches and Cathedrals but this one touches me every time I visit it. It is so beautiful and I just feel total piece inside it. I am not a catholic but I think that great temples, shrines, churches, mosques etc. have something so pieceful and calming. I like to visit these historic sites and to clean my sou. 

Is there any favorite cathedral / church you have?
