Catedral de Santa María

Top choice in ´¡°ù²¹²µÃ³²Ô


This Gothic cathedral is one of ´¡°ù²¹²µÃ³²Ô's great surprises. The richly carved main portal dates from 1300, and the attached Museo Diocesano contains the cathedral's superbly carved 16th-century choir stalls, plus some extraordinary frescos and painted altarpieces. The stately interior features a brilliant 16th-century alabaster altarpiece by Damián Forment showing scenes from Christ's crucifixion. Ascend the 180 steps of the bell tower for 360-degree views all the way to the Sierra de Guara.
