Huesca Cathedral Church

Huesca Cathedral is the principal cathedral in the city of Huesca in Aragon, north-eastern Spain, and is principally Gothic in form, with construction spanning the later medieval period.

The building is approached from the city centre and is noted for its Gothic architecture, interior chapels and a prominent position within Huesca’s historic core. It functions as the city’s main Catholic church and a focal point for civic and religious events.

Construction of the present Gothic cathedral began in the medieval period on the site of earlier religious buildings and continued with additions and modifications over subsequent centuries. The fabric of the building reflects phases of medieval and later architectural work.

Sited in the centre of Huesca city in the Aragon region, the cathedral is part of the urban layout of Huesca, which lies inland in north-eastern Spain.

Huesca Cathedral stands in the centre of Huesca city and is a short 5-10 minute walk from Huesca’s main train and bus stations. By car Huesca is about 70-75 km north of Zaragoza - roughly a one-hour drive along the A-23 autovía; follow signs into the city centre and for the cathedral (Catedral / casco antiguo).

• Check the cathedral's schedule before you go and avoid visiting during mass or services - many Spanish cathedrals close parts of the interior to tourists while liturgies are taking place.
• Visit early in the day when the site first opens to avoid afternoon tour groups and to get clear views of the façade and cloister; the city centre location makes it easy to combine with nearby museums and plazas.
