Catedral Bonita. No es gratis hay que pagar, se supone que no dejan tomar fotos en su interior. La subida a la torre vale la pena subirla. Eso sí por la entrada se podrían ocupar los baños gratis. Se pagan aparte

No te puedes ir de la ciudad sin ver esta catedral. Definición: Rara, pero Preciosa. Numerosos estilos artísticos y si subes a la torre de las campanas puedes tener una vista aérea Preciosa de la ciudad.

Manuel Antonio “Manu” Fernández Salmeron

Bonita catedral donde hay muchos personajes históricos, principalmente Reyes. Merece la pena la visita con audio guía ya que te va llevando de forma ordenada por toda la estancias y explicando de forma automática cuando llegas al lugar
