10 postcard.

My 10th postcard I recieved from Malaga, Spain.
From Anna.

                                                Malaga cathedral.
Кафедральный собор Малаги
Строительство этого Кафедрального собора (Malaga Cathedral) началось в XVI веке и продолжалось 2 века. Местные жители называют его Ла Манкита, что значит «Однорукий», поскольку северная башня собора так и не была завершена. Фасад здания выполнен в духе барокко XVIII века, однако его интерьер, где вы увидите сказочно прекрасный сводчатый потолок, имеет черты готики и ренессанса.
От первоначальной мечети остался лишь Патио де лос Наранхос – маленький внутренний двор с ароматными апельсиновыми деревьями, где когда-то находился фонтан для религиозных омовений.
Великолепный свод поднимается на высоту 40 метров (130 футов), а обширный неф, украшенный колоннадой, вмещает в себя громадный хор из древесины кедра. Проходы ведут в 15 часовен с изумительными алтарными украшениями и другими предметами религиозного искусства XVIII века. Затраты на строительство оказались такими огромными, что к 1782 году было принято решение остановить работы. (http://www.spain.destinations.ru/)
From Wikipedia:
With a population of 568,507 in 2010, it is the second most populous city of Andalusia and the sixth largest in Spain. This is the southernmost large city in Europe. It lies on the Costa del Sol (Coast of the Sun) of the Mediterranean Sea, about 100 km (62.14 mi) east of the Strait of Gibraltar and about 130 km (80.78 mi) north of Africa.  Average temperatures of 17 °C (62.6 °F)
