This is a perfect example of how medieval cathedral builders totally ignored how hard their building would be to photograph 900 years later! Joking aside, it IS quite hard to photograph the front of this cathedral and get it all because of the buildings surrounding it. This is the best I could do - but at least I could capture how intimidating and high the towers are...
Outside the cathedral Notre Dame in Bayeux. It was originally in Romanesque style but later rebuilt in Gothic style. The cathedral was consecrated in 1077 in the presence of William the Conqueror (who was also the Duke of Normandy) - but the build had started already around 1040 and mostly finished in the 15th century.

Cathedral
The interior of the beautiful cathedral of Málaga.
So, we have made the choice to visit the cathedral , a decision that was absolutely the right one.
Short desciption
The Cathedral of Málaga is a Roman Catholic church in the city of Málaga in Andalusia in southern Spain. It is in the Renaissancearchitectural tradition. The cathedral is located within the limits defined by a now missing portion of the medieval Moorish walls, the remains of which surround the nearby Alcazaba and the Castle of Gibralfaro. It was constructed between 1528 and 1782, following the plans drawn by Diego de Siloe; its interior is also in Renaissance style.
The outstanding interior and personal feelings
There are so many things to tell about the magnificent interior, the overwhelming pillars, the beautiful paintings and statues. If you're a roman catholic or not, one can admire the artists and the craftsmanship. If you are a catholic or not, you can really feel the higher spirit of this beautitful church of christianity.
The Cathedral of the Holy Cross and Saint Eulalia - Catedral de la Santa Creu i Santa Eulàlia - Catedral de la Santa Cruz y Santa Eulalia also known as Barcelona Cathedral, is the Gothic cathedral and seat of the Archbishop of Barcelona, Spain.
Murcia Cathedral has many Renaissance and Baroque elements, although its interior is fundamentally Gothic.
Created in 1394 on the site of a former mosque. It was bishop Fernando de Pedrosa who placed the cornerstone. The interior is Gothic. The façade is Baroque and was built according to design by Jaime Bort. It has a 95-metre tower that took more than two hundred years to build with the involvement of many different architects, of whom Ventura Rodríguez stands out especially. Los Vélez Chapel is Flamboyant Gothic and has a vaulted ceiling with star-shaped skylights, while Los Junterones Chapel is in Renaissance style.
Dormition Cathedral in Kolomna. Three-domed Assumption Cathedral was founded in 1379 by Grand Prince Dmitry Donskoy after the first victory of Russian troops over the Golden Horde in the Battle of the River Vozha. Construction of the cathedral lasted one year, presumably in his paintings participated Pheophan Grek. Cathedral stood until 1672, when it was demolished due to dilapidation. On the place of the demolished church for 10 years was built new, preserved to this day (architect Meletios Alekseev).
Inside the wonderful Liverpool Anglican Cathedral.
As you liked yesterday's church, lets stick with the theme, shall we? But yesterday, we had an old and catholic one, today it's time for new and orthodox. The Cathedral of the Resurrection of Christ in Podgorica has only been finished in 2013.
It's even more impressive from the inside, but I'll show that to you tomorrow.
