Cathedral of Santa María of Calahorra
Cathedral of Santa María of Calahorra, Gothic cathedral in Calahorra, Spain.
The Cathedral of Santa María of Calahorra is a Gothic structure with three naves supported by six pillars, with the central nave being larger and higher than the lateral ones. The side naves step back noticeably, creating a strong sense of the height of the main space.
Construction started in 1484 at a place where two Roman soldiers died around 300 and were later venerated as saints. The church was built over a sacred site with deep historical roots.
The cathedral holds sixteen chapels decorated with altarpieces from Gothic to Baroque periods, showing how artistic tastes changed over centuries. These works reflect the different phases when the church was furnished and expanded.
Visitors can enter the cathedral during daytime hours, though the exact schedule varies by season. It is worth checking current opening times before visiting, as the church is still used for services.
The north door, known as San Jerónimo, blends multiple architectural styles in a single 1559 facade and shows the artistic transitions of that time. The door demonstrates how different stylistic approaches overlapped in one building.
