Sigüenza Cathedral, Romanesque-Gothic cathedral in Sigüenza, Spain

The cathedral features three naves divided by massive pillars with attached columns, culminating in joined capital lines supporting pointed arches and ribbed vaults.

Bishop Bernardo de Agén initiated construction in 1124 after conquering the city from Muslims during Queen Urraca's reign, daughter of Alfonso VI of León.

The funerary chapel contains the tomb of Martin Vázquez de Arce, depicted reclining while reading a book in a natural, symmetrical composition.

The cathedral opens its doors daily for religious services, with guided tours available between 11:00 and 14:00, except during mass celebrations.

Two fortified towers with battlements frame the main facade, reaching heights of 41.7 meters for Don Fadrique tower and 40.5 meters for Las Campanas tower.
