Monday Morning Photo - Palacio de la Merced, Cordoba

Once one of the most important buildings in Córdoba, Palacio de la Merced was founded in XIII century as a  Mercedarian monastery. When the order was dissolved it became an orphanage then in the 1970s a Provincial Government seat. The Baroque portal is in the middle of the enormous frontage, the cloisters and monastery church remain and services are still held there today.

Monday Morning Photo - Jaén´s Renaissance Cathedral

Even though the lovely old plaza in front of the cathedral had it´s magnolia trees ripped out and nothing put in place I have to admit every time I see this cathedral I´m impressed.




It is enormous and magnificent from the outside and over-the-top in religiosity inside, it´s also home to one of the cloths that was used to wipe Christ’s face on his way to be crucified. Every Friday people are allowed to kiss the cloth.
