The Cathedral of Saint Mary (Spanish: Catedral de Santa María) is a Roman Catholic cathedral located in Ciudad Rodrigo, Spain. It was declared Bien de Interés Cultural on 15 September 1889.[2]
The Renaissance composers Juan Navarro Hispalensis and his pupil Juan Esquivel Barahona were both choirmasters at the cathedral.
Architecture
[edit | edit source]
The cathedral has four doors. In the episciple-side transept, there is a Gothic frieze with twelve figures from the Old Testament and a tympanum in which four Romanesque figures were placed in the Modern Age: from left to right Saint John, Saint Peter, Christ Pantocrator, Saint Paul, and Saint James. In the other transept the Puerta de Amayuelas opens, with a multi-lobed arch.
The tower was raised by Juan de Sagarvinaga at the end of the 18th century in a neoclassical style, after the collapse of the second tower during the Lisbon earthquake (the cathedral had had a third tower, which was demolished after the communal war).
