The Cathedral of Santa María de Regla, symbolic, mysterious and multi-faceted, which opens with its pointed towers towards the sky, Gothic at heart, is one of the most cared for and celebrated buildings in the city. This colossal temple began to be erected in the thirteenth century on the space occupied by the Palace of King Ordoño II and were nothing but the Roman baths that would later yield for the construction of the primitive cathedral. The temple passed through various periods of construction, Romanesque under the patronage ofPrincess Urraca, sister of Ordoño and Gothic in 1255 with the impulse of Alfonso X the Wise, ending in the fourteenth century.
Of this last stage is the building we know, although subject to subsequent reforms that over the centuries will seek to solve their structural problems due to the shape of its construction, making the largest and most complicated in the nineteenth century that will give anew look to the western door.
