The Cathedral of St Peter the Apostle is a Roman Catholic church located in Jaca, in Aragon, Spain. It is the seat of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Jaca. It is the first Romanesque cathedral built in Aragon (1070s - early 12th century)and one of the oldest in the Iberian peninsula. Its current appearance is the result of later additions and modifications introduced especially in the early modern period (from the late XVth to late XVIIIth century). Don´t hesitate to visit us!

The cathedral of St Peter in Java was ordered by Ramiro I, first king of Aragón, and built by Sancho Ramirez, the second. The original building dates from the eleventh century, and there are elements of other eras, from Romanesque to Gothic to Plateresque to Baroque. There are many curious features, including the silver coffers under the altar containing the bones of ancient saints, the statue of the "holy trinity" a copy of Michaelangelo's Moses, the ceiling of the apse, painted by Miguel de Bayeu. I'm very fond of the wrought iron railings around the two side chapels which are a thousand years old and come from little churches. The side door of the cathedral is decorated with Romanesque capitals (the originals in the museum) the most famous of which is David and the musicians. I could go on, but the thing to do is visit, see it for yourself!

"One of the most beautiful collections of romanesque wall paintings in the world" -Le Monde-
Reviewed By AlbertSalichs - Manresa, Spain
Museo Diocesano de Jaca is the art museum located inside the Jaca Cathedral, in the center of this town, located in Aragon Pyrenees, in the North of Spain. I went to visit the museum in the middle of August, but I did not have so many time and I had to visit it fastly, so I returned in the middle of September, because the Romanesque pictures are great! Really so interesting! In fact, in the first part of the museum, you will see all original Romanesque paintings from some churches in the surroundings of Jaca, which were ripped off the original wall in the middle of 20th Century. Nowadays it is not correct, but then it was the only possibility to save and keep these pictures. For me, a top in Jaca!
