According to legend, in the XIII century, King James I of Aragon on his way to Majorca, where he was about to fight with the Arabs, was in a terrible storm. The king vowed to build a magnificent temple to the glory of God, the Lord will leave him alive and unharmed. The Lord heard his prayer and the king safely reached shore and freed the island from rarbskogo rule.

On the site of the old mosque of Medina King commanded to build a temple. The Cathedral was rebuilt many times. Its interiors remade in the twentieth century by Antonio Gaudi. For example, a fancy canopy above the altar of wrought iron - work of this famous wizard.

In the cathedral you can see the magnificent stained-glass windows XIV-XVI centuries. In the tiny chapel of St. Trinity buried the remains of some of the Catalan and Aragonese kings. The pearl of the collection of the cathedral museum is the ark of the True Cross, inlaid with precious metals and stones, dating from XV century.
