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 portal of the Catedral de Santa Maria is a perfect example of the prestigious gothic architecture. With the pointed archivolts, it seems "undisturbed" and complete. Unlike the many portals in France, where the Wars of Religion left visible scars.
