RE: La catedral de Jaca: románico y mucho más // The cathedral of Jaca: Romanesque and much more

Good afternoon, Paloma. I won't deny that just seeing the word "Romanesque" made me emotional. Although it's true that there's a lot of later work inside, the mere presence of that stone and that architecture gives me goosebumps.

I won't deny that I would have liked to see more Romanesque art inside, more paintings and sculptures. But what is there is majestic. I'm not a big fan of Baroque art, but I won't deny that it has its expressiveness and its charm.

You're absolutely right that each chapel deserves its own post... it's just a matter of getting around to it.

I've saved for last an element that fascinates me: the capitals. What a marvel, what wonderful stonework... and what different values ​​compared to today: not a single signature.

Thank you so much for this magical journey.

I wish you a great start to the week. Hugs!
