Tarragona Cathedral

The Cathedral of Tarragona is a Roman Catholic church in Tarragona, Catalonia, Spain. The building is situated in a site recently possessed by a Roman sanctuary dating to the season of Tiberius, a Visigothic church building, and a Moorish mosque. It was announced a national landmark in 1905. There is little data about the roots of the congregation. A section is known to have existed in Tarragona in the late eleventh century, however the present structure was assembled just from 1154 by request of diocese supervisor Bernat Tort, as indicated by the Augustinian rule, to be endowed to priests from the cloister of St. Rufus in Avignon.

The unique, mid 12^th century church building had maybe a solitary nave and a substantial apse, and was in Romanesque engineering style. At the time consideration was presented to guarded components, for example, the enormous chime tower, attached to the sacristy. Another venture was propelled in 1195, changing the congregation's arrangement to a basilica one, including two passageways and a transept with four new optional apses, canvassed by cross vaults in Gothic style. The development profited of gifts from clerics and lords Alfons II and Peter IV of Aragon. Explore and experience this place.
