Orihuela Cathedral, Gothic cathedral in Orihuela, Spain
Orihuela Cathedral is a structure built in Valencian Gothic style with three distinct entrances showing different architectural traditions. The Portal of the Chains displays Islamic influence, the Loreto Gate features Gothic forms, and the Gate of the Annunciation incorporates Renaissance elements.
The structure was originally built as a parish church on the site of a former Muslim mosque. It gained cathedral status in 1510 through papal recognition.
The cathedral holds a collection of religious artworks by Spanish masters such as Velázquez and Ribera. Visitors can view pieces by the local sculptor Francisco Salzillo, whose works shaped the sacred art tradition of the region.
The building is located at Plaza Teniente Linares 1 in Orihuela and is easily accessible to visitors. Guided tours are available throughout the week to help understand the architectural and artistic details.
The bell tower dates from the 12th to 14th centuries and is the oldest part of the structure. Its four floors are covered with groin vaults, showing how builders of that era managed space and weight.
