It has a Renaissance style but is based on the Gothic tradition

Spanish Pyrenees Hike ~ Zaragoza (Region) The cathedral was built on the site of a Romanesque church, of which only the main apse remains. The Eucharistic miracle is said to have occurred in 1239, when the troops of James I of Aragon conquered Valencia. The relic has been kept in Daroca ever since. Santa Maria was chosen as the site for the church, its original 12th-century Romanesque structure being enlarged and rebuilt in later centuries. In the 15th century, the apse was decorated with a rare French Gothic stone altarpiece and a new main entrance was built, now the Puerta del Perdón. More extensive alterations took place in the 16th century, changing the entire layout of the church. Due to the importance of the Eucharist, the cathedral houses a large collection of fine art, currently preserved in the Cathedral Museum. #AprilDestinations2025 #SpainTravel #Aragon
