Jaca - Catedral de San Pedro

Jaca - Catedral de San Pedro
I had been in Jaca a couple of times before, but I just had to return in 2014. This was not only for the Romanesque cathedral, but as well for the "Meson Serrablo" a very agreeable restaurant.

The Jaca Cathedral is one of the oldest of the Iberian peninsula, dating back to the 1070s. The building, that was altered many times later, was commissioned by King Sancho Ramírez, who established an episcopal seat in Jaca, then the capital of the Kingdom of Aragon.

For a while I saw a fettered monkey on the right corbel, but it may be another animal. Between this corbel and the middle one (lion) is a dromedary.

You´ll find many more photos taken in Jaca in the album "Aragon".
