Astorga Cathedral, Cathedral in Astorga, Spain
The Astorga Cathedral exhibits Gothic architecture in its nave and chapels, Renaissance elements in its south portal, and Baroque features in its main facade.
Construction of the cathedral began in 1471 on the site of previous Romanesque cathedrals from the 11th to 13th centuries, with building phases spanning until the 18th century.
The cathedral houses over 600 religious art pieces, including the Reliquary of Vera Cruz and a 10th-century chest of San Genadio in its museum collection.
Visitors can explore the cathedral daily from 10:00 to 20:30, with free entrance on Tuesdays between 10:30 and 12:30, requiring advance booking due to capacity limits.
The two cathedral towers display different stone colors because their construction materials came from separate quarries with a 200-year gap between their completion dates.
