Album Info:

The coral-limestone facade of the first cathedral in the New World towers over the south side of the Parque Colón. Spanish workmen began building the cathedral in 1514, but left to search for gold in Mexico. The church was finally finished in 1540. Its facade is composed of architectural elements from the late Gothic to the lavish plateresque style. Inside, the high altar is made of hammered silver. At this writing, a museum was being built for the cathedral's treasures. COST: Free. OPEN: Mon.-Sat. 9-4; Sun. masses begin at 6 AM

  • I remember this view. I always had problems finding a good angle for the entrance to the tomb of Columbus. Your solution is very nice, especially the contrast of the crumbling wall in the foreground and the cleaned up cathedral in the background. Nice work.
