Santo Domingo de la Calzada Cathedral

s/n Calle Cristo, Santo Domingo de la Calzada, La Rioja

Description

The Cathedral of Santo Domingo de la Calzada is a 12th-century Romanesque church situated along the French branch of the Way of St James. Highlights include the Baroque tower, the entrance portal, the tomb of Santo Domingo, the main altarpiece and the ambulatory with radiating chapels. The entrance ticket also provides access to the attached cloister.

Access & Transport

The church is located in the town of Santo Domingo de la Calzada, in the Alta Rioja, along the road between Logroño (50km) and Burgos (70km)

Instructions & Recommendations

There are also guided visits, including nocturnal ones, and the option to go up the tower for a supplement

Meta review

Online reviews are quite mixed, with recurring comments about the price being charged, giving the place a commercial feel. The building itself is nice enough with plenty of artwork and interesting background but nothing really exceptional beside the main altarpiece.

Environmental & Social

We deem this attraction environmentally neutral. Part of the architectural and artistic heritages of the area.

Conclusion

The cathedral is considered one of La Rioja's main churches and is certainly worth a visit on the way to another regional highlight but, unless you are a religious art buff, we would not advise to make a significant detour for it.

Key positive

Variety of artworks

Key negative

A little expensive considering the content

Suitability

No religious denomination restrictions and accessible.
