After lunch, we wandered over to Seghovia Cathedral. It was the last Gothic Cathedral built in Spain and a wonder to see.
Huge impressive doors greet you at the entrance.
Once inside, it is massive with vaulted ceilings reaching up towards heaven.
A massive brass pipe organ borders both sides of the Sacristy.
I've visited a lot of churches in Europe, but this church had one of the best Jesus statues I've seen. It is amazingly moving.
There is a sense of reality to it, but there is also an exageration that makes it a very powerful piece of art. The expression on his face is quite haunting.
There was one painting that I really liked showing death about to claim a bunch of people and Jesus chiming the bell to warn them. Really cool.
This is a really amazing church and well worth a visit if in Seghovia.
