Huesca Cathedral

Jaime I began the construction of the cathedral on the ruins of the old mosque of Misleida, at the end of the XIII Century and it was continued until the XVI Century.

It has three naves with side chapels and an octagonal bell tower. The main façade has seven ogive arches with stone carved figures of the apostles. The central nave is taller than the two side naves. The choir is placed in this nave and it has Renaissance set of chairs with expressive sculptures made by Berástegui.
The altarpiece of the Major Altar, made of alabaster in a Renaissance style, represents the Passion of Christ and it is a Damián Forment´ s work. The cloister is previous to the cathedral and it shows the purest Romanesque style in its doors and construction.

It preserves some funeral inscriptions and a beautiful bass- relief of the Virgin. The Chapter House has become a Diocese Museum, with sculptures from the XII and XIII Centuries, murals, boards from the XV Century, the best Aragon painters´ canvas and the famous silver altarpiece of the Virgen de Salas. Valuable codeces are kept in its archives.
