Cuenca Cathedral

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cuenca Cathedral is a Gothic cathedral in the city of Cuenca in Cuenca Province in the Castile-La Mancha region of south-eastern central Spain. It has a Latin cross plan (that is, the arm of the cross reaching from the main entrance to the altar is considerably longer than the other arms) and a seven-sided polygonal apse.[1] The facade was rebuilt by Vicente Lampérez in the 19th century.

The cathedral is officially the Basílica de Nuestra Señora de Gracia ("Basilica of Our Lady of Grace").[1] Unlike many other cathedrals in Spain, photography is not normally allowed in the interior.
