La Seo Cathedral
Catedral del Salvador (La Seo)
A cathedral built on the site of an ancient Roman forum and a mosque. Its exterior walls, decorated with Mudéjar tile patterns, are a highlight of the World Heritage site.
La Seo combines Romanesque, Gothic, Mudéjar and Baroque styles. The Parroquieta on the north-east side has exterior walls decorated with coloured glazed tiles and brick geometric patterns, making it a representative example of Mudéjar architecture in Aragon, which is a World Heritage Site. Inside, you will find a finely carved alabaster high altar. The attached tapestry museum houses 15th to 17th century Flemish tapestries and is one of the most important tapestry collections in Europe. Entry costs about 4 to 6 euros, including the tapestry museum. It is usually closed on Mondays. La Seo and the Basilica del Pilar are both at the eastern end of Plaza del Pilar, so you can visit them together.
