catedral de santa maria印象

Make sure you book a visit, otherwise you'll only see it from the outside, which is, let's be honest, quite poor look because of all the ladders and scaffoldings.

This was truly the highlight of our short visit to V-G. We booked the restoration tour online at the Santa Maria website. The guide must have been a trained engineer herself since she knew so much about the construction and history.catedralvitoria.com/ingles/visitas_reservas.…It was such a memorable experience to see the excavated areas, walk across the scaffolding, squeeze through the narrow archways high above the nave of the church and see the town from the roof! I wish I had a spy camera with me since no photography was allowed (just kidding, I don't own a spy camera).

Apart from the Spanish tour guide who spoke English with such a thick accent that I couldn't understand a word, this was a remarkable tour of a large cathedral which has been rescued from falling down. The foundations weren't good enough, and it really is in danger of falling down. Now there are massive engineering efforts to rescue it. Impressive.

I set off for the Cathedral but the old town is such a maze I was going round in circles. I got there just before 10 am but trying to find the entrance for the tours is another trek. Due to an excessive aggrandisement of the building through the centuries the foundations were crumbling and the Cathedral had to be closed in 1994. Since then they have been working on it and the tour was an architectural one rather than an art or religious one. Luckily, after waiting only half an hour, I was able to get on a tour in English. There were only 3 on the tour and the other two were Spanish. Did I feel guilty that they had to cope with English explanation in their own country. No. We had to wear hard hats and we were taken from the foundations to the upper reaches up lots of twisty steps and mind your head passages. The guide was excellent pointing out the frightening cracks in the walls and how the arches had fallen out of alignment. It was an unusual, amazing and unforgettable experience.

Although not religious, I love churches for their architecture and space and the cathedral of Santa Maria which is currently undergoing a major renovation and structural underpinning project is an absolute gem and a tour that you absolutely must take when you are in this city. Fascinating and rewarding in every way, I really enjoyed this!

One of the best and more interesting in the Basque Country, and in the centre of the old quarter. Check out the surrounding area for the venerable buildings close by the cathedral.

We booked this tour online but paid on the day. As we had a tour in English we had the guide to ourselves. The tour took about one hour and their was plenty of time for questions. It's wonderful to see a building like this up close and to learn about it's history. A must in Vitoria.

Spent ages looking around this beautifull cathedral well worth the time amazing place. Even if you don't do cathedrals or churches this is a must

We had to pay for admission although the building is being restored.After a queue we were told that it could only be seen on a guided tour. We should return the next day it we wanted it in English.For a European Heritage site supported by the money of taxpayers, this is not good enough.

one of the nicest Cathedrals - and we have seen quite a few on our recent travels of Ireland, France and Spain
