[ Apse of the Cathedral ]      [ Tondi of the Cathedral ]      [ Altarpieces ]





A detail of the frescos in the vault painted by José and Manuel Camarón, with an approximate surface area of 150 square metres, in a print dated 1919, the only graphic evidence preserved of the fresco before the damage caused by the civil war.

This image was used by the restorers as a guide and reference point for recovering the original state of the mural. History tells us that the artist, José Camarón i Bonanad, started the work around 1800 and died three years later, with his son Manuel Camarón i Meliá finishing the work, and dying in 1806, when this was completed.
