The Cathedral
The cathedral churches and the other buildings that formed part of the bishopric’s allodium were founded in the 11^th century in the lower part of the historical centre, close to the river. The crypt and the Romanesque bell tower survive from that period. Noteworthy features in the present-day neoclassical cathedral include the 14^th century Gothic cloister and the alabaster altarpiece by Pere Oller, in the same style. From the baroque period, the chapel dedicated to Sant Bernat Calbó is a particular highlight.
