Having seen a few cathedrals lately, I still find each one interesting. Began in 1513, this "new" one was consecrated in 1733. As you approach the front door, look for the astronaut carving on the left. It was put there by an artisan in 1992. The new cathedral has an extra high dome that amazes you whether standing inside or... More

This is not too exciting or perhaps it is having the old cathedral next door which just makes it pale into insignificance More

Construction of the new Cathedral actually began in 1513! The stone pillars and columns are quite impressive, with their shear size and height.
