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. As the Magi, following the Star of Bethlehem, were "role models" for many pilgrims following the camino on the way to Santiago de CompoSTELA, the Magi can often be found along the old "routes".
Here are the Magi adorating Virgin and Child. One of the Magi kisses the child´s feet (just like seen in near Agüero). Please note that the left Magi is - black! Very common later, but absolutely uncommon for the time!
I leaned, that the altarpiece, seen here in a detail, was donated by King Pedro IV to the cathedral in 1367. It was given in compensation for the seizure of silver lamps during the war again Peter I of Castile. 1367 this work was "state of the art".
