Early Bird Gets Free Cathedral Admission! 🕊️🏛️(1)
Just being as spontaneous as ever, I decided to brave the coldest day of the year and head out early in the morning, despite my hands and feet turning into ice cubes 👣. The Real Basílica de San Francisco el Grande, a grand royal basilica, opens its doors at 10:30 AM during winter. ❄️ 👣Without checking the opening hours in advance, I arrived at 10 AM, just as the ticket staff were setting up their tables. Upon noticing the opening time displayed, I couldn't resist asking if I could enter early. 🏛️ Maybe the staff was in a good mood, for with a wave of their hand, they generously granted me free admission! What a delightful surprise! 🎉 👣This basilica stands as Spain's largest and Europe's fourth-largest domed cathedral, renowned for its exquisite collection of artistic treasures—particularly the works of Goya and Zurbarán. #DailyArtShare #ClassicalArchitecture #WorldCulturalHeritageSite
