The co-cathedral was erected in the 15th century in a Gothic style, with the main portal following the Romanesque architectural tradition. Since 1986, it is an UNESCO World Heritage Site, along with the rest of the city's Old Town.
The main 16th-century retablo, dedicated to the Assumption of the Virgin, was carved by Roque Balduque and Guillen Ferrant. The interior has notable artworks and sculptures, including a San Pedro de Alcantara by Enrique Pérez Comendador.
