MURCIA FEATURED HOTELS, SPAIN
Murcia - a city on the river Segura in southeastern Spain and the capital of the Autonomous Community of Murcia.  Murcia is built nearly in the centre of a low-lying fertile plain, known as the huerta or market garden of Murcia, which includes the valleys of the Segura and its right-hand tributary of the Guadalentín or river Sangonera, and is surrounded by mountains. Worth visiting: the Cathedral was built between 1394 and 1465 in Castilian Gothic style. Its tower, only completed in 1792, shows a mixture of styles: the first two stories were built in Renaissance style (1521-1546), the third one is Baroque, and the bell pavilion has Rococo and Neoclassical influences. 
The main façade (1736-1754) is considered a masterpiece of the Spanish Baroque style.  Other noteworthy buildings in the square in front of the Cathedral (Plaza Cardenal Belluga) are the colourful Bishops palace (18th century) and a controversial extension to the town hall, by Rafael Moneo.  The Glorieta, next to the Segura river, has traditionally been the center of the town. This a pleasant landscaped square, built in the 18th-century. The Ayuntamiento (City Hall) is located here.
