👍 A very ornate church, both outside and out. Smaller and quite modest in comparison to some of the other mega-cathedrals in Spain. Similar construction and alters and icons to most Catholic places of worship. The crypts of the right of the entrance are interesting but probably not for tourists.

15th-century Catholic church with unique architecture & remnants of a 13th-century mosque.

Romanesque-style cathedral dating to the 9th century with a preserved interior & ancient frescoes.
