Tui - Cathedral de Santa Maria

Legends tell that St. James preached here. The town had a bishop's see as early as 5th century and developed well. Within the 10th/11th century it was raided by Vikings and Maurs, so it is no wonder, that the "Catedral de Santa Maria" in Tui (Tuy) seems to be a fortresse still today. The church was consecrated 1225 and is a mixture between romanesque and gothic style.
