The weather got really bad in the afternoon. All tourists fled the Piazza del Campo and then the thunderstorm started with an immense downpour. All we could still see was the Torre del Mangia.

It took me probably ten minutes to descend from the tower of the cathedral. When I had reached the ground and looked up, the weather had worsened. Time to stay inside and visit the cathedral´s museum, where I learned that the construction of the now gothic cathedral started end of the 13th century. It took 300 years to complete it. Actually a mosque had been here and served as a church for nearly two hundred years, since Huesca was conquered in 1096 by Christian troops led by Peter I of Aragon.
