Murcia is a city on the Segura River, located in south-eastern Spain, inland but not far from the coast. It’s mainly a services city and an important university town. The city has grown considerably in recent years, and avenues and fine promenades now surround its attractive old quarter. Its pedestrianized streets and small squares create a peaceful atmosphere, complemented by a rich architectural heritage, dominated by the cathedral. Walking by Murcia's Old Town you'll find some beautiful buildings. Around the Cathedral visitor will see a few big avenues but also lot of small and narrow streets to explore. Also on this area there are many restaurants and Tapas Bars, shops, souvenir shops, and lot of coffee shops. A good option may be to have a drink at Cathedral Square before starting to explore the area. From any bar on this square there is a wonderful view of the square’s two main buildings: The Cathedral and Palacio Episcopal. It is a huge square and always it is full of people. Murcia's Cathedral is one of best and most impressive Cathedrals in Spain. The temple was constructed on the site of an old Arabic Mosque during the 15th century. Looking at the facade one can observe three different styles: Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque. The bell tower is 95 m. tall and has some beautiful Plateresque ornamentation. The interior of the Cathedral is mainly Gothic, with a layout of three naves and surrounded by some chapels. Nearby, we find Murcia's Town Hall, a colourful and beautiful building, where there are interesting exhibitions open to the public.
