Catedral de Santander

Very cool. And the Roman ruins were interesting. The cathedral was closed for a funeral, but we got breakfast near by and went back later.

We didn’t go in, because it was about to close (it was thursday, around 1pm), but the entry was only 2€ and it looked like there was a pretty inside. I recommended going around the cathedral, there’s many nice photo spots. 📸🌱

Lovely cathedral, unfortunately it was closed and we didn’t have time to go inside but I’m sure it was as beautiful as it is on the outside!

Nice place. 2€ entrance is ok. On the other side is also a small chapel with no cost. Fantastic colourful windows in the back.

Surprisingly pleasant place to visit, and at €2 this is well worth a visit to get out of the heat (or in our case, the rain). The light and bright interior was a surprise given the fairly plain outside. Having been rebuilt in the 50s (an era not known for great architecture) this is appealingly understated. The cloisters are a nice place to sit and recover.

The cathedral de Santander is located in the city center and it is a big church that has a small entrance fee but I would say is worth it as it is beautiful, not the church that much but the outside area, like a small garden in the middle. The visit doesn’t take long and I recommend it!

Santander Cathedral is a simply designed but striking building with a fantastic interior. It dates back to around 711 AD and the Moorish influence is very apparent. We spent a pleasant half an hour wandering around.

It took 3 attempts to enter. 1st a Mass was due to take place. 2nd Siesta time closes everything. We finally gained access the following day. The crypt was lovely too.
