Solsona - Catedral de Santa María


The Iberians and the Romans have been here, Visigoths made their way to Solsona in the fifth century and, three centuries later, the Saracens settled here for about 70 years, until it came under the rule of the Franks. A monastery dedicated to Santa Maria was established in 1070 with connections to the Counts of Urgell.
In the 13th century is evidence of a weekly market. The town was completely encircled by a wall (up to 16 m high) which had 21 towers. The Black Death of 1348 caused a depopulation of the region.
King Felipe I (II of Castile) requested the creation of a new bishopric based in Solsona and Pope Clement VIII, in 1593, acceded to the request. The current church has two previous buildings, a pre-Romanesque church of 977 and a Romanesque church consecrated in 1070, of which the three apses, and the lower part of the bell tower have been preserved. The current cathedral was built in the late 13th century in the Gothic style as a monastery church of the Augustinians and was elevated to the status of a cathedral in 1593.
