Resting place

There were a few tombs along the walls. It was interesting. They all looked like they did in real life. They had different features, facial hair, rings, etc. Pretty neat!

The Bishop's Chapel

This chapel was interesting. As you can see, there are two sarcophogi, then on the shelves there are busts and carvings of hands in different positions. There are also vials with what could be blood in-between the hands.

More stained glass

As you face the Jamete Arch, to you back are these beautiful windows. The sun was streaming through these windows.

Stained glass windows

We started walking up to the main stained glass windows and the sun was beaming in perfectly. I've never seen sun coming in to a church's stained glass windows so beautifully.

Chapel of the Apostles

We took photos of all of the chapels. We were in the Cathedral of a few hours. It was FREEZING in there! I'll post a few of the chapel photos. They were all beautiful!

The Bishop Wenceslao Sanguesa

He was instrumental in rebuilding the new bridge of San Pablo and he was instrumental in declaring the Cuenca Cathedral a National Monument. He died February 22, 1922. His was one of the few markers that was roped off.

Cathedral tour

We love checking out churches so we had to see the cathedral. We bought the self-guided tour. It was already beautiful right inside the door.

Cuenca Cathedral

The Cathedral of Our Lady of Grace and Saint Julian was built from 1182 to 1270. We were definitely going inside.
