That church (Iglesia de San Francisco Javier) has an interesting claim to fame.
There is a Gothic church in Barcelona, Santa María del Mar. Ildefonso Falcones published his novel 'Catedral del Mar' (Cathedral of the Sea) in 2006. It is centred around the construction of Santa María del Mar. This novel was adapted for TV.
When visiting Cáceres, the church had a pinkish colour. The guide explained it had been painted that colour for the filming of the TV adaptation of the novel 'Catedral del Mar,' not long before I visited the city. According to the guide, the church you see in the TV series is not the Gothic church in Barcelona but this Baroque one in Cáceres. |

The cathedral in Palencia is know as the "Unknown Beauty," Built a century after that in nearby Burgos, it, clearly, was inspired by its neighbour.
The cathedral in Burgos in one of the largest in the world. It is mindblowingly beautiful. Both the interior and the exterior are stunning. Next to it stands the Church of Saint Nicholas that has an abolutely fabulous altarpiece. The whole city is packed with stunning churches. I can recommend anyone to visit that town. Before doing so, get a hold of the Burgos guide by Edilera.
I had the pleasure of visiting both cathedrals last June.
The cathedral in Teruel has a stunning timber ceiling in Mudéjar style. The ceiling is covered in Gothic paintings. |
