The Metropolitan Primate Cathedral of Tarragona, dedicated to Saint Thecla, can be classified stylistically as proto-Gothic and was initially associated with the Romanesque style. The cathedral's sturdy architecture, monumental scale, austere elegance and rich ornamentation make it a truly unique compendium of styles with artworks that reflect the excellence of this iconic place of worship. The monumental scale and harmonious structure of the building have led it to be considered Catalonia's most important Gothic cathedral.
