Went to visit a friend who lives in the casco. She was shocked when we went to the cathedral and there was an entrance fee. Interesting you can get into the gift shop without paying. I liked it, but then I like Spanish cathedrals.

We've visited a lot of Cathedrals in Spain but this one is one of our favorites. Not only is it very well kept (almost lovingly we must say) the place has a luminosity that churches in Spain don't always have. We don't know what we like better between the modern stained glass windows (which are very cool), the spectacular mudejar... More

This Cathedral's floor plan is not symmetrical, so that caught my attention right away. The facade of the building is quite beautiful. Many of the chapels are very unusual and also beautiful. The famous architect Ventura Rodriguez redesigned the main altar during the 18th century. The middle grille was designed by Juan Frances in the 16th century. The side grilles... More

However, for everybody else it is not a place one need to visit after seeing 10 cathedrals earlier. I was a bit surprised that... More

After a three week driving tour about Spain--I was getting rather tired of cathedrals and churches charging money to enter, money for lights to be turned off, etc. My husband wanted to rent the audio guide in Cuenca, so I went along.
