CORIA CATEDRALCORIA CATEDRAL

The Cathedral of Coria is an unexpected jewel that breaks the sky of the Vega of the Alagon River. Its imposing silhouette blends the Gothic with a dazzling Baroque style and is a mandatory stop for three key reasons: The universal relic of the Sacred Mantel: Custody of one of the most fascinating relics of Christianity: the tablecloth which, according to tradition, was used at the Last Supper. It has been the subject of global scientific studies and is presented at its Cathedral Museum. A facade that challenges gravity: Its spectacular baroque cover, topped by a great tower-bell tower, impacts just after seeing it. In addition, the temple keeps the mystery of having survived the devastating Lisbon Earthquake of 1755, an architectural miracle that can still be "felt" by walking its walls. The river balcony: Its strategic location next to the old Roman walls offers spectacular and unique views of the whole valley, the Alagon River and the historic bridge without river. In short: It is one of the most unique cathedrals of Extremadura, where a historical mystery of world relevance and a monumental architecture that dominates the landscape are united. .
