Lonely Planet review

Murcia's sumptuous cathedral was raised in 1394 on the site of a mosque. Initially Gothic in style, it was dramatically altered in 1748, when the exuberant baroque facade with its tumbling cherubs was added. A highlight of the interior is the 15th-century flamboyant Gothic Capilla de los Vélez, its flutes and curls like piped icing sugar.

For spectacular views of the city, climb the 92m (302ft) tower, begun in 1519 but not completed until the 18th century.
