Part 3/7:
The Journey of Construction
The cathedral's construction began in 1205 but encountered delays due to foundation issues; works eventually resumed in 1255 and concluded in 1302. Uniquely, it had one of the largest collections of medieval stained glass windows preserved, placing it among the world's most significant collections, alongside those of Chartres Cathedral.
A Spiritual Experience
Visiting the cathedral provides a profound experience. Its interior features an ambulatory, chapels, and a museum, making it one of the most celebrated and photographed sites in Spain.
