Resumen

During the 17th and 18th centuries, several constructions of polychromatic marbles were erected in the region of Murcia. Once again, they come to confirm the importance of these kind of works during the Hispanic Baroque. The influence of neighbouring regions such as Levant and Andalusia and, doubtless, the existence of quarries in the region, particularly in the mountainous North-Western zone, may well explain these marble works. It is just at those Northern areas where some of the most significant specimens are located, being the main front of Santa Cruz [Holy Cross] of Caravaca a major example of them. As the capital of the ancient kingdom and main religious center, the city of Murcia ulso has several fine works, which distinguish themselves because of their refinement and relationship to the international Baroque, as we muy notice in the central front of the Murcian Cathedral.
