Solsona's cathedral is the main church of the
bishopric. This monument stands not only for its religious meaning, but
also for its cultural and artistic heritage.
From the early Romanesque church
(1070-1163) still remain the three apses, the bell tower, the cloister,
the cellar and the canon’s dining hall, which is currently the Hall of
the Holy Martyrs. The current cathedral is an example of Gothic
architecture, and it was started at the end of the 13th century and
completed in the 17th century. To the left of the transept, there is the
Chapel of La Mercè, with a Baroque altarpiece. To the right, there is a
chapel dedicated to the Virgin Claustre, dating from the 12th century,
and which is catalogued as one of the most important Catalan Romanesque
sculptures.
