A jewel of the Gothic era facing the sea. This building, which was begun under the reign of Jaime II, consists of a single plan with three naves. Trinidad (Trinity) chapel lies in the main nave, in which the bodies of James II and James III lie. The most notable elements of the façade are the Mayor doorway and the South doorway (Mirador), that is distinctive because of the sculptures by Guillermo Sagrera that lie around it.
