Co-cathedral of Saint Mary Major of Mérida, Gothic co-cathedral in Mérida, Spain.
The Co-cathedral of Saint Mary Major extends 45 meters in length and features characteristic elements of Gothic design including pointed arches and ribbed vaults.
Construction of the Co-cathedral began in 1230, during a period when Mérida was transitioning from its Roman and Visigothic past to medieval Christian architecture.
The Co-cathedral serves as one of two principal churches of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Mérida-Badajoz, established through papal decree in 1994.
Religious ceremonies and masses take place regularly in the cathedral, while guided tours allow visitors to explore the architectural features throughout the week.
The structure incorporates stones from ancient Roman buildings of Mérida, connecting the religious monument to the city's classical heritage.
