Construction of the old cathedral began in the late 13th century and it was restored in the late 15th century. This cathedral is a fusion of two architectural styles: Romanesque and Gothic. Inside it has three naves without apse. Construction of the new cathedral began in 1496, but it was put on hold and not completed until the 18th century. Built in the Plateresque style, its façade is divided into four bodies and five panels. The photo shows the New Cathedral. ## Related artworks - [Alcázar]() - [Capitals in the cloister]() - [Cloister]() - [Cloister]() - [Exterior view]() - [Exterior view]() - [Exterior view]() - [Exterior view]() - [Exterior view]() - [Exterior view]() - [Exterior view]() - [Exterior view]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
