Huesca - Catedral de Santa Maria

Huesca - Catedral de Santa Maria
The "Catedral de Santa Maria" in Huesca got erected over 300 years. The building started end of the 13th century in gothic style, replacing a mosque that had served as a church, since Huesca was conquered in 1096 by Christian troops led by Peter I of Aragon.

This Romanesque portal, leading to the cloister, is one of the few traces of the "pre-Gothic" structure. The polylobe portal is strongly influenced by the moorish/Mozarabic style.
