The Tudela Cathedral was built on the ruins of the former major mosque. This building was originally understood as a collegiate church. It has a full Romanesque floor, of Latin cross plan, although the elevation could be considered as Gothic.
The main façade is articulated by eight wide pointed archivolts that are decorated with scenes that narrate the prizes to the fair people and the punishments to the sinners after the Last Judgement.
It has three doors, three naves of four bays and a Romanesque cloister built at the end of the XII Century. This cloister is a splendid construction with a rectangular floor with round arches supported by paired columns of big capitals. It is covered by rib vaults, except for the chapels of the apses that are covered by semicircular vaults and pointed barrel vaults.
Inside, you can see numerous altarpieces (such as the great altarpiece that dominates the central apse, by Pedro DÃaz de Oviedo in the XV Century), images (such as the Virgen Blanca) and other works of art.
You cannot visit the interior of the Cathedral due to the restoration process.
