Santa Maria Cathedral
The construction of the Cathedral of Santa María began in 1312, in the place of a Romanic temple, and the only vestige in Charlemagne’s Tower. The particularity of this cathedral is that it’s the widest Gothic nave in the world. Although it was initially planned to have three naves, long negotiations followed and the works broke off after 50 years. Furthermore, this beautiful construction contains elements of Romanic, Gothic and baroque architecture, making the building a real work of art.
The interior of the cathedral abounds in magnificent works of art and notably shelters 2 museums where you can admire the ‘carpet of creation’. The gold-coloured major, (the silver altar) is dated from the XIV century, represents the life of Jesus and the Virgo and is considered as the main gothic art of the city.
