The Murcia Cathedral is far from the only photograph-worthy sight here in Plaza del Cardenal Belluga. For instance, above you see the Episcopal Palace, which resides to the left as you face the cathedral. The Rococo-style Episcopal Palace was completed in 1768 following twenty years of construction. The building serves as the headquarters of the Archdiocese of Cartagena.

As you can see in the photo above, once again we’re treated to a Baroque façade with elements of Gothic and Renaissance architecture as well. And this one is quite magnificent and incredibly ornate. In short, the exterior of this church has it all. I probably could’ve spent an hour more here just concentrating on the details, but the tour would not wait. So, you’ll just have to content yourselves with these images:
