Considered to be the last book of Romanesque art in the West, it dates back to the th century. The narthex (north portal) was carved at this time on the model of the Portique - to fill those nostalgic for the compostellan style. The printing of the apostles dates back to the th and th centuries. The interior, very marked by baroque architecture, retains a beautiful Gothic altarpiece. Look also behind the choir, the astonishing carved wooden crucifix, where a Romanesque Christ appears crowned, like a medieval king.

La cathédrale est le monument emblématique de la ville d'Ourense. Un nouveau parcours touristique est proposé, qui inclut la montée à la tour, la visite des salles latérales avec les trésors de la cathédrale et l'entrée à la chapelle du Saint Christ, très vénérée par les locaux et avec une riche décoration baroque, sans oublier le magnifique Portique du Paradis, peint et magnifiquement restauré, qui émule celui de la cathédrale de Santiago de Compostela. La visite peut être faite en plusieurs langues grâce à un audioguide (prévoir environ 50 min), qui donne beaucoup de précisions sur les détails de la visite.
