Ourense Cathedral, Gothic cathedral in Ourense, Spain
The cathedral exhibits a Latin cross layout with one remaining apse, combining Gothic architecture with Romanesque, Renaissance, Baroque, and Neoclassical elements.
Construction of the cathedral began in 1160 on the foundation of a previous Swabian temple, marking the establishment of episcopal authority in Ourense.
The cathedral's Pórtico del Paraíso contains detailed stone carvings depicting biblical scenes, similar to the famous portal at Santiago de Compostela Cathedral.
Located in Plaza del Trigo, the cathedral receives visitors daily and offers guided tours through its Gothic cloister, museum, and main prayer halls.
The cathedral holds the Cristo de los Desamparados, a silver crucifix that moves its head according to local tradition when petitioned by faithful devotees.
