A cathedral in the making
As is the case with most religious buildings, you’ll notice there’s no unified style - it’s the result of successive phases of construction. Despite the bishopric dating back to 6th century AD, the Construction of this romanesque cathedral began in the 10th century - probably on top of a previous building. From then on the building kept changing until all major works were finished, which wasn’t actually until the 1960s! Pay attention to the façade, you’ll spot it’s not romanesque, but baroque. It resembles an altarpiece, with three horizontal and three vertical sections. Its construction began in 1606, but the sculptures were not made until the 1960s. Also look at the two wonderful bell towers: a Romanesque one on the northern side, known as the “tower of Charlemagne”, (now out of use) and a more modern one - visible on its main façade.
