Catedral de Huesca

4 Plaza de la Catedral, Huesca, Aragón

Description

The Cathedral of Saint Mary of Huesca is a Roman Catholic church built between the 13th and 16th century with a blend of Romanesque and Gothic architectural styles. Highlights include the sculpted front portal, the main altarpiece (an alabaster triptych), the bell tower and the painted domes. The Diocesan Museum attached to the church contains religious decorative art from the Roman, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque periods.

Access & Transport

The museum is on Plaza de la Catedral, in the center of the old city. The city of Huesca is 75km northeast of Zaragoza along the A-23. There are also direct trains linking the cities in 1h30mins.

Instructions & Recommendations

We suggest combining this activity with a visit of the Huesca Musem, 100m away.

Meta review

The Cathedral is rated as one of the regional highlights by travel guides and online reviewers alike. The main altarpiece and the front portal are regularly singled out as being standouts and the quality of the objects exhibited in the diocesan museum and the view from the tower are also getting positive comments.

Environmental & Social

The ongoing environmental footprint is low. Helps maintain the town's cultural and architectural heritages

Conclusion

The cathedral is one of the city's landmarks and those interested in architecture or religious art should make the small monetary and time investment to admire its interior and the diocesan museum. In fact, unless you are tiring from churches during your trip, we would recommend a visit to almost anybody.
