What Will We See in Cuenca Cathedral?

Cuenca Cathedral is one of La Mancha's most important monuments, featuring a Gothic façade with French influences. Built in the 12th century over an Arab mosque, it is the first Gothic cathedral in Castile.

Inside, the light from the stained-glass windows creates a notable effect. Key features include the Renaissance cloister, stained-glass windows, high altar, and Sagrario Chapel.
