The cathedral is in the Romanesque transitional style of the 12th/13th. Built in the mid-19th century, it shows influences from the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela. The Cathedral Museum conserves a valuable processional cross formerly attributed to Enrique de Arfe, a jet cross (from a León workshop), a missal from 1494, the Missale Auriense, the Treasure of Saint Rosendo and a 17th-century processional monstrance .
