    ⦁ This church stood out even more than the cathedral from the outside.
    ⦁ On the inside it was different too. All the stonework is quite modern looking.
    ⦁ And the side chapels simply and clearly delineated.
    ⦁ Couldn't help smiling at the statue of Pedro and Rosita underneath the Virgen de ...
    The blue tiles set off the baroque gold ornamentation really well
    The cathedral is dedicated to the Virgin Mary, and a rare representation of her heavily pregnant is located at the altar. Images and statues of Mary’s pregnancy were commonly found in Europe during the medieval age, but were eradicated on the orders of the Pope during the late 15th century.
