Places to see in ( Murcia - Spain ) Cathedral de Santa Maria
The Cathedral Church of Saint Mary in Murcia (Spanish: Iglesia Catedral de Santa María en Murcia), commonly called the Cathedral of Murcia, is a Catholic church in the city of Murcia, Spain. It is the only cathedral in use in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Cartagena in Spain.
When the Christian king Jaime I the Conqueror conquered the city, in spite of the existing pact with the Muslims of the city that prevented destroying any mosque, the king Jaime I took the Great Mosque or Aljamía to consecrate it to the Virgin Mary, since he had the custom to offer a mass to Our Lady whenever he conquered a village. The cimentation of the cathedral begun in the 13th century, in the same place where the great mosque stood. In 1385 the laying of foundations began and in 1388 the first stone was laid. But it was not until 1394 that the construction began, which would be finished in October 1467. Nevertheless, the cathedral continued to grow until the 18th century, which means that the cathedral is made of a variety of artistic styles.
The heart and the entrails of the king Alfonso X the Wise are buried under the main altar of the cathedral, as he indicated in his testament, as a gift and proof of his love to Murcia and in thanks to the fidelity that the city showed to him.
As previously stated, the artistic style of the building is very varied because it was finished in the 18th century. Its interior is Gothic; the facade is Baroque and it was made by the Valencian architect and sculptor Jaume Bort i Meliá.
There are twenty-five bells, all of the 17th century and the 18th century. Each has its own name. Among them are:
The Bell of the Spells
La Catalana
The Bell of Prayer
La Fuensanta
The Conception
La Segundilla

The Cathedral of Murcia, its full name is Catedral de Santa María (Iglesia Catedral de Santa María en Murcia), was built between the 13th and the 15th century. Its bell tower is 95 m high. After the bell tower - La Giralda in Seville, it is the second highest in Spain. The bell tower has five levels, with 25 bells in the top level.
The facade was built on the initiative of the administrative body, the so-called Cabildo with the support of Cardinal Belluga. Jaime Bort built the cathedral on the foundations of the great mosque of the Moors, that once stood on this site.
In 1263, James I of Aragon decided on a campaign against the Moors after they rebelled against the Castilian rule to support his son-in-law Alfonso X of Castile. After the conquest the city, he had the Moorish mosque converted into a Christian cathedral and consecrated. Then he handed the city over to his son-in-law.
Alfonso X united Murcia with Castile. In 1282, he wanted to divide the empire for the benefit of his grandchildren. Resulting in that he was formally deprived of power but was allowed to retain his royal title. He spent the rest of his life as a lonely refugee in Seville. In his will he ordered that one keeps his heart and his entrails in the Cathedral of Murcia. They are in a sarcophagus on the side of the main altar. The other mortal remains are buried in the Cathedral of Seville.
The construction of the Cathedral of Murcia started in 1385. It was not finished until 1467.
The interior is mainly Gothic, while the facade is Baroque. 23 chapels surround the three-nave main room. These are the last resting places of the dignitaries, bishops, and noblemen, who participated in the construction of the cathedral.
Under the organ, you see the impressive chairs of the choir, dating from the 16th century, a donation of Queen Isabel II. The Plateresque chairs were originally in the Monastery of Santa Maria de Valdeiglesias.
A special feature is the chapel of Los Vélez. We have already written about it in our article First Steps in Murcia.
After the Cathedral, we visit the Real Casino Murcia.

Die Kathedrale von Murcia, mit vollem Namen Kathedrale de Santa María (Iglesia Catedral de Santa María en Murcia), wurde vom 13. bis zum 15 Jahrhundert erbaut. Ihr Glockenturm ist mit 95 m, nach dem Glockenturm - La Giralda in Sevilla, der zweithöchste in ganz Spanien. Er wurde in fünf Stufen erbaut und im Kopfteil sind 25 Glocken installiert.
Die Fassade wurde auf Initiative des Verwaltungsorgans, der sogenannten Cabildo mit der Unterstützung von Kardinal Belluga gebaut und von Jaime Bort errichtet.
Die Kathedrale wurde auf den Fundamenten der großen Moschee der Mauren errichtet, die ursprünglich an dieser Stelle stand.
Jakob I von Aragon entschloss sich 1263 zu einem Feldzug gegen die Mauren, nachdem diese gegen die kastilische Herrschaft rebellierten, um seinem Schwiegersohn Alfons X. von Kastilien zu unterstützen. Nach der Eroberung der Stadt lies er die maurische Moschee in eine christliche Kathedrale umwandeln und weihen. Danach übergab der die Stadt seinem Schwiegersohn.
Alfons X. vereinigte Murcia mit Kastilien. Als er das Reich 1282 zugunsten seiner Enkel teilen wollte wurde er entmachtet durfte formell aber seinen Königstitel behalten. Seine restlichen Lebensjahre verbrachte er als Flüchtling einsam in Sevilla. Er hinterließ ein Testament in dem er verfügte, dass sein Herz und seine Eingeweide in der Kathedrale von Murcia aufbewahrt werden. Sie befinden sich in einem Sarkophag an der Seite des Hauptaltars. Die weiteren sterblichen Überreste liegen in der Kathedrale von Sevilla.
Man begann erst 1385 mit dem Bau der Kathedrale von Murcia. Er wurde erst 1467 beendet.
Der Innenraum ist weitestgehend gotisch, während die Fassade barock gestaltet wurde. 23 Kapellen umgeben den dreischiffigen Hauptraum, in denen Würdenträger (Bischöfe und Adelige) bestattet sind, die beim Bau der Kathedrale mitgewirkt haben.
Unter der Orgel sehen Sie das Chorgestühl aus dem 16. Jahrhundert, eine Schenkung von Königin Isabel II. Die Stühle im plateresken Stil befanden sich ursprünglich im Kloster Santa Maria de Valdeiglesias.
Eine Besonderheit ist die Kapelle de Los Vélez. Wir haben bereits in unserem Artikel Erste Schritte in Murcia darüber berichtet.
Nach dem Besuch der Kathedrale besichtigen wir noch das Real Casino Murcia.
