Segorbe Cathedral

The Cathedral of the Assumption of Our Lady of Segorbe is a Roman Catholic church in Segorbe, province of Castellón, Spain. It is the see of the Diocese of Segorbe-Castellon. It was elevated to the rank of minor basilica in 1985.
Located against the city's walls, the church, once a mosque, has been completely rebuilt in 1246 in Valencian Gothic style in such a manner that it preserves no trace of Arab architecture. Of this 13th-century edifice, only parts of the western façade, the vaults of several chapels, the load-bearing walls, the tower of Santa Barbara, the bell tower and the cloister remain. It was consecrated on 7 May 1534, and has a single, cross-vaulted nave, without transept and dome, with chapels located between the buttresses. It is connected by a bridge with the old episcopal palace.
