A bold tribute to the City of the Segura and the Garden of Europe where Murcia, the capital of the Region of Murcia in southeastern Spain on the fertile plain of the Segura River known since Roman times as the orchard of the Iberian Peninsula, is one of Spain's great undiscovered cities, a Baroque jewel of the Spanish Mediterranean interior whose Cathedral of Santa Maria, begun in the 14th century and completed over four centuries of construction in a stunning mixture of Gothic structure, Renaissance chapels, and one of the most exuberant Baroque facades in Spain, dominates the old city with a tower that rivals the Giralda of Seville in its architectural ambition, where Murcia's extraordinary tradition of polychrome wood sculpture reached its apogee in the work of Francisco Salzillo, the 18th-century sculptor whose pasos, the elaborate processional floats depicting scenes from the Passion of Christ carried through the streets of Murcia during Holy Week, are considered among the finest examples of religious sculpture in Spain, where the Casino de Murcia, the 19th-century private members' club whose interior rooms were each decorated in a different historical style creating an extraordinary sequence of Arabic, Rococo, Pompeian, and Baroque interiors, and where the huerta, the irrigated agricultural plain around Murcia whose system of water distribution was established by the Moors and has fed the city for a thousand years, together give Murcia its distinctive and deeply rooted character.
