Puente de los Peligros
Start at the oldest bridge in Murcia, the 18th-century Bridge of the Hazards, the symbol of the city’s resilience against devastating flooding. The engineering gem featuring the robust yet slender baroque style offers breathtaking views over the town and the curious Monument to the Burial of the Sardine, partly emerging in the middle of the river.
Episcopal Palace of Murcia

On its south borders stands the striking Episcopal Palace of Murcia, an exceptional example of the Rococo style. Take your time to examine the splendid decorative details on the reddish façade harmoniously blending Italian and French styles while listening to the stories about historic visitors occupying the 18th-century building.
Then, indulge yourself with the lavish architectural feast of the 14th-century Murcia Cathedral next to the palace, displaying all the flamboyant Gothic beauty with some delicate Renaissance and Baroque elements. From the stunning façade laden with intricate carvings and lively sculptures, take a walk around the colossal structure to admire the Gothic gem of Vélez Chapel and the looming Murcia Cathedral Tower, the second highest in Spain.
