Cathedral of Astorga

Begun in the 15^th century as an extension of the Romanesque temple from the 11^th and 13^th centuries, it enlargement continued through the 18^th century. Thanks to this we can admire Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque and Neoclassic examples.

Split in three naves, the central is wider than the others, with attached chapels. The Baroque façade appears as an altarpiece.

The main altarpiece, by Gaspar de Becerra; the Renaissance set of chairs at the choir; the organ; Our Lady of the Majesty, from the 12^th century; the Hail Mary Most Pure (La Purísima), by Gregorio Fernández; the sacristy; and the cloister are just one sample of what visitors can find at the cathedral.

Address: Plaza de la Catedral s/n, 24700, Astorga (León).
