The Cathedral of Ourense, dedicated to Saint Martin, is the main religious monument of the city. Built between the 12th and 13th centuries, this temple has had the honors of a minor basilica since 1867, according to the Pontifical Brief of Pope Pius IX signed on June 30 of that year.

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 .

Saint Martin, to whom Ourense Cathedral is dedicated, is probably one of the most popular saints of all, along with Saint Nicholas. The memorial day of the former officer in the Roman army is on November 11th. On the night after the famous "dividing of the cloak", when he leaves half his army cloak to a freezing beggar, Jesus Christ appears to him in a dream. He then converted to Christianity and was later elected bishop of Tours (France), initially against his will.
