The changes to this monument include many and varied architectural
styles. Already in the 1st century BC there was a basilica here,
which in the Visigothic period was called the church of San Vicente.
It was also a mosque, but it was in the 12th century when the
first Christian church was built on top of all these, which was
given a northern, rather than an eastern, orientation, as was
typical at this period, so as not to coincide with the direction
of Muslim prayers towards Mecca. Changes were made later and the
cathedral also includes Gothic, Mudejar, Renaissance and Baroque
styles. The main doorway is of the latter style, dating from the
18th century. Inside you can visit the cathedral treasure, which
includes the famous tapestries.
