Catedral de Santa María de Tuy, Catholic cathedral in Tui, Spain
The cathedral stands on the highest point of Tui, featuring fortified towers, a Romanesque structure, and Gothic decorative elements throughout its architecture.
Construction of the cathedral began in 1120 under Bishop Pelayo Menendez and reached completion in 1225 during the reign of King Alfonso IX.
The western portal contains the first Gothic sculptural ensemble in the Iberian Peninsula, displaying detailed scenes from the Nativity cycle.
