Murcia, the capital of the region is located in a fertile valley that was converted thanks to man’s labour into the Garden of the Segura. Founded by the Arabs 1200 years ago, in Murcia you can find a suggesting fusion of cultures and artistic styles, shaped especially in its splendid Cathedral. We will depart from the pier and arrive into the city centre, where we will visit the Cathedral – the most emblematic and important building in Murcia. It demonstrates architectural styles from more than five centuries, including an impressive Baroque façade with a tower that is over 90 metres (295 feet) high. The interior is just as rich as the outside. We will also visit the Monastery of Sta.Clara. Our final visit on this tour is to the Sanctuary of Fuensanta, built between the 17th and 18th centuries.
At time of going to print the Monastery of Sta.Clara is under construction, therefore if this is not complete this stop will be changed to the Casino of Murcia. There will be approximately 2½ hours of walking involved, including some steps and so is therefore not suitable for passengers with limited mobility.
