In the Cloister of the Cathedral

The cloister of the Cathedral was built in the 14th and 15th century.  It has a wide variety of side-chapels, a central garden, the Fountain of St. George, and thirteen geese: a reminder that St. Eulalia was martyred at age 13.  The cloister is beautiful and calm.  Let me retrace my steps.
