Description
The Holy Church Cathedral of Santa María, 1 known as Cathedral of Murcia, is the main temple and headquarters of the Diocese of Cartagena.
Consecrated in 1465, it suffered several additions (such as the bell-tower) or specific reforms (new chapels or façades) mainly in the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries, which is why it integrates the original Gothic style with Renaissance, Baroque and neoclassical additions.
Among its architectural elements stand out the 93-meter high tower that makes it the third tallest bell tower in Spain - the second if only cathedrals are included, 2 the main façade or imafronte, considered as a masterpiece of the Spanish Baroque; And the chapels of the Vélez, Junterones and Trascoro.
In the Great Chapel there is the sepulchral urn where the heart and the entrails of Alfonso X the Wise rest.
