Visit the Sanctuary of the Fuensanta -- one of the region's most revered religious sanctuaries. Of particular interest are the frescoes on the interior of the dome, depicting the yearly pilgrimage of the statue of the Virgin.
A drive into the heart of the Old Quarter at Murcia brings you to the 13th-century cathedral. The façade of this building is considered one of the best examples of Baroque architecture in Spain.
Admire the interior of the late-Gothic Velez Chapel and its stone tracery.
At the Santa Clara Museum, the monastery still houses Clarisas nuns. Notice the Islamic, Gothic and Baroque influences.
Step inside the Santa Ana monastery to visit the church and taste some local products provided by the resident nuns.
