The Santander Cathedral, also known as the Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary of Santander, is a Roman Catholic place of worship which dates back to the 12th century. The mainly Gothic building complex has been renovated and extended several times over the years, but you can still see some of the original structure.

Be sure to allocate enough time to explore the cathedral fully, especially the well-preserved doorways, columns, and the portal with the coat of arms of Castile and Leon. Other aspects also include the beautiful stained glass on the windows and the chapels, especially the first one by Fernando Herrera Calderon which dates back to 1624.
