Santa Maria Basilica. Castello d'Empuries

The Santa Maria Basilica, located in the municipality of Castelló d'Empúries in Girona, Catalonia, Spain, has for centuries been regarded as the Empordà Cathedral. The building is the second largest in the Costa Brava, after the Girona Cathedral, and is big enough to justify cathedral status. It is a Gothic building begun in the thirteenth century that replaced a primitive Romanesque church from the tenth century. It was completed in the fifteenth century, when the marble facade and the alabaster altarpiece of the main altar were finished. On this canvas I also depicted a beautiful field with sunflowers, located next to the mentioned cathedral. Oil, canvas. Signed. Varnished.
