Cathedral in Romanesque style with three naves, then added chapels, the central one with a figure of Virgin with large eyes
The construction of this Catholic cathedral began in 1129, under the control of Raimundo de Monforte. At the beginning, it was designed in Romanesque style, with a cross-shaped line and three longitudinal naves. However, in the 14th century, five Gothic-style chapels were added. In the 18th century, the central chapel was replaced by a larger one, which preserves a figure of the Virgin with large eyes to which the inhabitants devote great devotion. Today it combines Romanesque, Baroque, Gothic and Neoclassical styles.

Belle et impossante cathédrale en granite, à visiter avec les principaux monuments de la ville. Il y a une visite guidée qui permet d'accéder au cloître et aux parties hautes de la cathédrale mais il vaut mieux se renseigner à l'avance des horaires, surtout en basse-saison.
