        The Cathedral of Astorga (Spanish: Catedral de Santa María de Astorga) is a Roman Catholic church in Astorga, Spain. It was declared a national monument in 1931.

        The Gothic building was begun in 1471, within the same walls of its 11th-13th-century Romanesque predecessors. Construction lasted until the 18th century, so elements of later styles were added to the original Gothic style, such as the neoclassical cloister (18th century), the Baroque towers, capitals and facade, and the Renaissance portico. With a rectangular layout, with apsidal chapels, very clear and bright, it has an architectural closeness to the German Gothic.
        The interior is home to numerous works of art, such as the Flemish-Spanish retablo of St. Michael, and the large main altar by Gaspar Becerra (1558), considered a masterpiece of Spanish Renaissance sculpture. Other sculptures include the "Purísima" by Gregorio Fernández (1626), "St. John the Baptist and St. Jerome" by Mateo del Prado (17th century) and the "Christ of the Waters" (14th century).

          Very beautiful old cathedral with an attached museum. It is always worth a visit and there is a reduced entrance fee for pilgrims.
