The Melting Pot of Cultures

A Journey to the Spanish Pyrenees - Zaragoza (Region) This monument reflects a variety of architectural styles. As early as the 1st century BC, there was a cathedral at the same location, which was known as Saint Vincent's Church during the Visigothic period. It also served as a mosque. However, it wasn't until the 12th century that the first Christian church was built on top of these structures, and the church faced north instead of the typical eastward direction of the time, so as not to conflict with the Muslim direction of prayer towards Mecca. Changes were later made. La Seo incorporates Gothic, Mudéjar, Renaissance, and Baroque styles. The main entrance is Baroque, built in the 18th century. Inside, you can visit the Tapestry Museum, which houses some of the finest Flemish tapestries in the world.
