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.

The diocesan museum, that is hosted inside the cathedral displays an extraordenary collection of medieval art. There are some stunning madonna-figures. Of course they are showcased in glass cabinets, what of causes some reflections.
