Cathedral Of The Holy Cross Cadiz Spain

Blue hour settles over the Plaza de la Catedral, and the cathedral's golden stone glows against a deepening violet sky. Palm trees frame the scene, a cafe terrace hums below, and a long exposure blurs the passersby into soft streaks, while a single figure stands still, taking it all in.

Cadiz's cathedral took over a century to complete, begun in 1722 on the site of a medieval church lost to fire, and finally finished in 1838 after passing through the hands of several architects, including Vicente Acero, who also designed the cathedral in Granada. That long, uneven construction left it with a striking blend of Baroque, Rococo and Neoclassical styles, still visible in the golden stone facing the square today.
