Santa María Cathedral

Built on top of a former 13th century construction. There is a portico with interesting sculptures.
The Cathedral de Santa María originates from a project to build a church-fortress at the beginning of the 13th century.

Later, the construction culminated in various phases during the 14th and 15th centuries under a Gothic influence. The cathedral is supported on enormous columns bulging under the weight, and a beautiful and fragile triforium.

It is now possible to visit this cathedral as never before, because until the year 2010 "it is open for building works". The cathedral's unique Restoration Plan means you can see first hand how restoration work on the building is carried out. These works have been awarded the Europa Nostra Special Prize, granted by the European Union for conservation of and improvements to cultural heritage sites.
