Why go
The building reads as a history of changing styles, from Romanesque and Gothic work to Renaissance, Baroque and Neoclassical interventions. Inside, the Chapel of the Holy Chalice, the star-shaped ribbing above it and Renaissance paintings connected with artists from Rome give the visit distinct focal points beyond the main altar.
What to look for
- The Chapel of the Holy Chalice has dark stone walls and a ribbed vault forming an eight-pointed star.
- Alabaster windows draw pale natural light into the Gothic crossing tower.
- Different portals make the building’s Romanesque, Gothic and Baroque layers visible outside.
Useful to know
- Begin with the interior before deciding whether to add the separate climb up El Miguelete.
- Check the official cultural-visit timetable because services and feast days can interrupt sightseeing.
