Built on the site of a former mosque in the 13th century, the cathedral evolved over hundreds of years, adopting multiple architectural styles.

Renovations across centuries have shaped the cathedral’s distinctive appearance.

It’s one of Spain’s most fascinating cathedrals, known for its blend of styles, museum-quality artworks and legendary Holy Chalice Chapel. Visitors can climb the Miguelete Tower for sweeping views of the Old Town and admire masterpieces in the Cathedral Museum.
