The Cathedral of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, also known as Catedral de Santa María de la Asunción, is a significant landmark in Barbastro, Spain. It serves as the cathedral of the Diocese of Barbastro-Monzón. This cathedral is not only a place of worship but also a historical monument that reflects the rich history and architectural prowess of the region.
Architectural Design of the Cathedral
The cathedral, designed in a rectangular plan, is a beautiful example of Gothic architecture. It features three naves that end with apses, which are almost hidden from the outside due to the presence of the sacristy, the chapter house, and the entrance. This unique architectural design adds to the charm and allure of the cathedral.
Interior Design of the Cathedral
The cathedral's three naves, designed by architects Juan de Segura and Juan de Sariñena, are of the same height and feature cross vaults. These vaults are adorned with arabesques and city shields, creating an impression of a starry constellation. The naves are supported by six beautiful bundled columns, each about 15 meters high, with capitals decorated with images of fauna and flora. This intricate design and decoration add to the cathedral's aesthetic appeal.
