San Pedro Cathedral

This Cathedral was built on the ruins of an old Romanesque church. The current construction comes from the XVI Century. Its marvellous cloister from the XII Century, part of the apse, the door and the windows of the Chapter House and the cloister have arrived to our days.

The Church had a Basilical structure, with three naves of the same height that were covered by star- shaped vaults.

The Southern façade is Plateresque, with a round arch with archivolts and a high freize, where is placed St. Pedro´ s sculpture. It is decorated with rich grotesque motifs.

The altarpiece placed in the Epístola nave is also Plateresque and is a Francisco del Río´ s work.

Together with the altarpiece, the major altar is also important.

In the current chapel of St Saturio is kept the best painting in Soria, a triptych of Flemish influence that was ordered by the marquis of Lozoya to Correa de Viva.

As result, we have a church with Basilical structure with five naves, covered by star- shaped rib vaults that are leaned on cylindrical columns. San Pedro collegiate church became cathedral in 1959.
