You're invited to discover the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption in Santander, an architectural treasure steeped in history. During your visit, you'll gain insights into its construction, its significance during pivotal city events like the 1941 fire, and how it shaped Santander's growth.
You'll start at the lower Church of Christ, also known as "the Crypt" due to its striking pillars and low ceiling. You'll then venture to the bell tower area and the historic cloister. This once enclosed a secluded orange garden and epitomises the sober and functional Gothic style that defines the entire monument.
In the main Temple, you'll be captivated by the Gothic nave, the Baroque altarpieces, and the mausoleum of renowned writer and philosopher Marcelino Menéndez Pelayo. This cultural and spiritual exploration will connect you with the heart and soul of Santander as you delve into the history of one of its major landmarks.
