Orihuela

Highlight • Historical Site

Orihuela is the southernmost point where El Cid managed to establish his protectorate. Already exiled, Rodrigo won the battle of Tévar against the Catalan count Berenguer Ramón II. From then on, he maintained a protectorate over the Islamic kingdoms of Al Hayib, between Tortosa and Orihuela.

Orihuela is also monumental. One of its great examples is the urban wall of the city and, also, its numerous civil buildings built by the nobles who inhabited it in the 16th and 17th centuries.

Orihuela Cathedral

Highlight • Religious Site

Ramón y Cajal Street. Tuesday-Saturday 10am-2pm, 5pm-8pm (4pm-7pm early September-mid June, Sunday 10am-2pm, Monday closed.

This cathedral is mainly Gothic (14th century) and was thoroughly renovated and expanded in the 16th century. The north side has a beautiful Renaissance portal with the theme of the Annunciation.

The interior is accessed via the apse, which was completed in 1942 with a very graceful 14th century cloister from the Convento de la Merced. Inside, some vaults have remarkable spiral ribs that are characteristic of Levantine Gothic. Also admire the magnificent latticework that closes off the choir, and the presbytery with the imperial coat of arms of Charles V and a beautiful altarpiece by Santa Catalina, said to be by Juan de Victoria (16th century).
