Holy Cathedral Church of the Transfiguration of the Lord

Holy Cathedral Church of the Transfiguration of the Lord, Gothic cathedral in Huesca, Spain

The Cathedral of the Transfiguration features three naves, side chapels, and five apses arranged in a Latin cross layout with Gothic architectural elements throughout the structure.

Construction of the cathedral began in 1294 under James I of Aragon's decree, replacing a mosque that had served the community for two centuries prior.

The cathedral houses a remarkable alabaster triptych altarpiece created by Damian Forment in 1520, depicting scenes from the Passion of Christ.

Located in central Huesca at coordinates 42.140444, -0.408153, the cathedral maintains regular visiting hours and serves as the seat of the Roman Catholic Diocese.

The bell tower, built between 1369 and 1423, originally featured a pentagonal spire that was destroyed during the Spanish Civil War.
