Overview

The Concatedral de San Pedro is a prime example of late Gothic architecture in Soria, constructed on the site of a former 12th-century monastery. Its most significant feature is the 12th-century Romanesque cloister, which survived the collapse of the original church in the 16th century. The interior houses the 16th-century Plateresque main altarpiece and several notable chapels. The building was designated a National Monument in 1929. The site serves as a co-cathedral alongside the Burgo de Osma Cathedral. It is situated on the left bank of the Duero River, integrated into the historical urban fabric of Soria.
