The street that led to the Picasso Museum.  There are no pictures of he museum itself.  There wasn't anything to take a picture of.  It looked just like this.

There was a very lovely church in the Gothic section though.   This is it!

Inside was very ornate.  There was gold, wood, and very detailed carvings throughout.

Most of the gold they kept behind bars.

A real priest.  He gets to go inside the bars I guess.

This would have turned out great if it hadn't been for those bars!

Inside the sanctuary.  It was very dark in the church.

This was taken through the bars, so it is out of focus.   But, it does allow you a sense of how detailed the artwork was inside the church.
