History

Originally a parish church, it was destroyed in the fighting of the Spanish Civil War in the 1930s, and only the bell tower remained. It was rebuilt according to the pseudo-medieval designs of architect Joan Ros. It was completed in 1955.[1]

The Cathedral was the site of the ordination of the new Bishop in 2024, Xabier Gómez.[2]

The plaza in front of the Cathedral is used for social and cultural events.[3][4]
