The Cathedral of Mondoñedo

The Cathedral of Mondoñedo, a Roman Catholic church, is situated in the town of Mondoñedo, in the region of Galicia, Spain. It features a combination of Romanesque, Gothic and Baroque architectural styles, with most of the structure being built in the 13th century. The church was initially established by a group of monks who fled the Anglo-Saxon invasion of Britain and settled in the north of the Suebi Kingdom, establishing the bishopric of Britonia.

Due to recurrent Viking attacks, the bishopric was eventually relocated to its current site in 1112. Construction of the Romanesque cathedral began in 1219 and was consecrated in 1248. In the 15th century, the old wooden roofs were replaced with stone ribbed vaults. The following century saw the addition of a Gothic rose window to the façade, measuring 5 metres in diameter with polychrome stained-glass panels.

In the 18th century, the upper part of the façade was remodeled in Baroque style, incorporating two symmetrical towers, a balustrade and a frontispiece, giving the cathedral its present appearance. It was declared a national monument in 1902.
