la catedral

Today Cameron took me to the cathedral in the center of Granada. I couldn't get over the beautiful blue domed ceiling with gold stars. The cathedral was built by the monarchs Ferdinand and Isabella (the pair that expelled non-Catholics from Spain, "united" the country, and funded Colombus' excursion to the New World).


If you look at the center of this frieze, you'll notice
the Christian conquerer on a horse stepping on the
face of a Muslim....


Catholicism of the future
