A Gothic cathedral begun in 1484 on the site of the martyrdom of the city's patron saints, Emeterius and Celedonius: the nave to the crossing was built between 1484 and 1526, the presbytery between 1565 and 1576 and the ambulatory between 1595 and 1614. The main façade is Baroque, by the Raón brothers, raised between 1680 and 1704, and in 1772 Antonio de Beriñaga added the top body, in the Neoclassical style. A fire in 1900 damaged the high altar, and the sacristy and cloister now house the Diocesan Museum.
