Construction of the cathedral started in 1172 above a Visigothic crypt from the 7th century and continued through different phases until completion in 1504.

The cathedral contains twenty chapels with religious artworks, including El Greco's painting of Saint Sebastian and a twelve-panel altarpiece by Juan de Flandes.
