Iglesia Santa Catalina
Not the most impressive of Cordoba's religious buildings, Iglesia Santa Catalina is never the less my favourite.
The interior is beautifully painted but the lighting, just above head level, only gives you an impression of it's true splendour. A tantalising glimpse.
Behind the alter is a barred off section, behind which you can see the nuns in quiet, isolated contemplation. Until 7.30 pm when, with microphones amplifying their voices, they sing the most beautiful music - it is exquisite.
It is not permitted to photograph the nuns.
