Co-Cathedral of St Nicholas of Bari
Concatedral de San Nicolás de Bari
A 17th-century Herrerian-style co-cathedral with a blue dome about 45 m high and a quiet cloister.
The Co-Cathedral of St Nicholas of Bari was built between 1616 and 1662 and is known for its austere, dignified Renaissance–Herrerian style. Its central dome rises about 45 m and is covered in blue tiles, an important element of the old town skyline. Inside are a Baroque Chapel of the Holy Sacrament and a 15th-century cloister, a rare quiet spot in the center of the old town. The church is near the City Hall, so it is an easy stop while exploring the old town.
