About Co-cathedral of Santa María de la Redonda

The Co-cathedral of Santa María de la Redonda is the main church of Logroño and one of the seats of the local Catholic diocese. The building combines medieval structural elements with prominent Baroque and later additions, and is a focal point of the city’s historic centre.

Notable external characteristics include the twin towers that bookend the principal façade and a richly appointed interior with chapels and altarpieces added over several centuries. The church functions both as an active parish and as a site of civic and religious ceremonies.

The structure evolved from medieval foundations with substantial reworking during the late medieval and early modern periods, producing the mixed architectural character visible today.

The co-cathedral occupies a central position in Logroño’s old town, close to principal pedestrian streets and civic squares.

  • Ecclesiastical role: Serves as a co-cathedral of the Diocese of Calahorra y La Calzada-Logroño and is the main church of Logroño’s historic centre.
