A beautiful, perfectly restored building. It's a shame it's private and can't be visited.

The Cathedral of Santo Domingo de la Calzada, also known as the Cathedral of El Salvador, is an impressive monument located in the town of Santo Domingo de la Calzada. The cathedral was built between the 12th and 13th centuries, combining Romanesque and Gothic styles. A unique feature is its free-standing tower, separated from the main body of the cathedral.

The primitive Romanesque church was built dedicated to the Savior and Saint Mary. In 1098, King Alfonso VI donated land for its construction. The cathedral was consecrated in 1106 by Bishop Don Pedro Nazar. It later became a collegiate church around 1158 and finally a cathedral after 1232. Since then, it has been the seat of the bishop of Calahorra-La Calzada. Construction of the current church began in 1158, preserving much of the old structure. In the 16th century, the right part of the transept was raised to house the tomb of Saint Dominic.
