I was on a short trip to Palencia ,a small historic town where I was surprised to discover a striking cathedral in Plaza de la Inmaculada .I visited the most important cathedrals of Spain in the past ,but I had no idea about the Unknown Beauty .I learnt that the ''old lady''is declared Historical -Artistic Monument .It was a great pleasure to travel back in the 14 th century .From the outside it seemed to me simple and austere ,but once inside I realised its beauty ,admiring the wonderful high altar with the story of Christ in dozens of panels ,as well as other religious elements .I particularly enjoyed the wonderful big flamand tapestries ,they are really spectacular . Unfortunately I didn't have enough time for a serious study .
