A fancy cathedral

Visiting the Cathedral de la Major was a wonderful experience. Its limestone facade, marble decorations, rich mosaics and the intricate carvings create such a sense of grandeur. Since it is located near the port. Both the views from here and elsewhere in the city when you see the cathedral from a distance. It's a spectacular sight. The best part is the cathedral is free to visit. You may make a donation. With it being so hot outside, the cathedral was a saviour not only from the heat. But the vibe inside is so peaceful and calming. The stained glass is really a sight during different times of the day as light falls on it. #myhiddengems #cathedral #summerdestinations #europe #100waysoftravel #france
