Lonely Planet review for Cathedral Basilica of St James
The Cathedral Basilica of St James is a historic church built in the overwhelming fortress-like style favoured by the medieval religious authorities, which dominates the view toward the city centre. It was consecrated in 1187 but only reconstructed in 1972. On one side of the cathedral is the 15th-century vicarage and on the other a huge bell weighing almost 6 tonnes, dating from 1681.
