Valencia Cathedral


Valencia, Spain (ES)
Another of the highlights of Valencia is its Cathedral. This religious building is currently dedicated to "Santa Maria" (Saint Mary). Some centuries ago, It used to be a mosque, but when El Cid conquered the city, it became a Roman Catholic cathedral. Later the city was reconquered by the Muslims, and the cathedral became again a mosque. But things would change again, when the Christian king, Jaume I, reconquered Valencia. It has been the main Cathedral in Valencia to this day.
