    Catedral

    It's worth climbing the 86 steps to this cathedral, rebuilt and altered over centuries. Inside is Europe's widest Gothic nave (23m) and in the adjacent museum, the masterly Romanesque Tapestry of the Creation. A museum ticket includes admission to a beautiful 12th-century cloister.
