Tudela Cathedral

About

After the town of Tudela was reclaimed by the Christians, they arranged for a new church to be built on the site of the town’s mosque. Construction began in the Romanesque style in the 12th century, and had transitioned to Gothic by the time the building was completed in the 13th. The building’s three doors are each styled differently, with the main doorway is adorned with an elaborate proto-Gothic depiction of the Final Judgement. The interior exhibits the transition from Romanesque to Gothic architecture, with the chapels using a simpler construction technique than the fully Gothic transept. The altar edges on opulent with its richly painted altarpiece, and countless sculptures running floor-to ceiling, while the choir is an ornately carved Gothic piece from the 16th century.
