Lugo Cathedral, Romanesque cathedral in Lugo, Spain
The cathedral exhibits a combination of architectural styles, including Romanesque transepts, Gothic elements, and a neoclassical western facade with decorative stone carvings.
Construction of the Cathedral of Santa Maria began in 1129, drawing inspiration from Santiago de Compostela Cathedral and continuing through several centuries of architectural development.
The high altar contains an ultra-baroque design and houses the Gothic statue of Nosa Señora dos Ollos Grandes, representing local religious traditions.
The cathedral opens from 09:30 to 19:30 between April and October, while November through March hours are 09:30 to 18:30, with guided tours at specific times.
The north doorway features a stone-carved Christ in majesty, recognized as an exceptional example of Spanish Romanesque sculpture from its construction period.
