This Gothic cathedral serves as the primary church of the Archdiocese and the seat of the Archbishop. While its origins date back to 814, the structure was officially consecrated in 1096 and underwent significant rebuilding in the Gothic style between the 12th and 16th centuries. It is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site as part of the Routes of Santiago de Compostela.

The building is a significant historical landmark notable for hosting two royal weddings. It functions as both a place for prayer and a site for tourism, maintaining a serene atmosphere within its walls. The architecture is characterized by its grand Gothic design, and the structure remains a dominant feature of the skyline.

Also known as the Primatial Cathedral of St Andrew, the site is open to the public, offering a space for both religious services and historical exploration.
