Presiding over the Plaza del Mercado Grande, it is projected to resemble the basilica of San Vicente. In its atrium the monarchs swore to respect the charters of Castile, which denotes the importance of this church in the period of greatest political importance in the city.
It has a Latin cross plan, with a central nave that is larger than the lateral ones. Begun in the second quarter of the 12th century and concluded in the 13th century, after a period in which the works were paralyzed, an interesting evolution is observed in architecture and decoration, the result of this extensive construction.

Building began construction in the 12th century and finished in the 13th century, with evident Gothic influences although it is of the Romanesque order.
In 1985 it was declared a World Heritage Site.
