Catedral de Huesca - by Management
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.
Environmental & Social

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.
