Declared a National Monument in 1931 and a Minor Basilica in 1993. The temple, isolated from any construction, sits on the remains of an Arab mosque and has been under construction for six centuries, which has meant the mixture of architectural styles and the participation of different professionals such as Diego de Riaño, Juan Gil de Hontañón, Alonso Rodríguez and Martin de Gainza. It owes its main appearance to the works carried out between the 15th and 16th centuries.
