The Sacra Couer and its many steps. Yes, I climbed up each one of them. I think that this cathedral is the most beautiful of all the ones we have seen.
I found more steps to climb as I got to the first landing. The picture below is looking back down the steps after reaching the 1st landing.............many more to go.
The harpist on the landing was there to give you the proper spirit to make it to the top and enter the cathedral. He was playing "YESTERDAY" an old Beatles song, but quite lovely on the harp. What song isn't beautiful when played on the harp?
The interior of the cathedral showing the nave. I walked around behind it where there were smaller chapels and alcoves.
To the west of the cathedral is the old artists' quarters, souvenir shops, eateries, and artists at work or trying to sell their paintings/drawings. Some of them were very well done and some lesser quality.
