Magistral Cathedral of Saints Justus and Pastor

The Magistral Cathedral stands at the medieval town’s core, where streets once led towards the gates in the walls. Cisneros promoted the present Gothic building from 1497; cathedral status followed in 1991 when the diocese was restored. Distinguishing a church’s age from its institutional title helps explain its successive stages. Before entering, walk around Plaza de los Santos Niños and consider the tower’s relationship with the main building. Inside, look first at the structure before concentrating on chapels and museum objects. Check included areas and any tower climb separately: an entrance open for worship does not guarantee a complete cultural visit. Continue afterwards towards Plaza del Palacio.
