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.

The entrance ticket also provides access to the attached cloister.
Access & Transport

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.
