A cathedral begun in 1158, whose medieval body predates these years; this card covers its dated parts. The south portal was built between 1761 and 1765, and the free-standing Baroque tower, by Martín de Beratúa, went up between 1762 and 1769 under the patronage of Bishop Andrés Porras y Temas. Inside is the main altarpiece by Damián Forment, who died in 1540 leaving it nearly finished, and the cloister now holds the cathedral's exhibition.
