The cathedral is a prominent example of Gothic architecture built between 1229 and 1601 on the site of a former mosque. It combines historic Gothic elements with later modern architectural features, notably influenced by Antoni Gaudí. The structure is distinguished by its impressive facade, large rose window, and ornate interior decorations that create remarkable light effects.

Serving as a Roman Catholic minor basilica, the cathedral holds significant cultural and religious value. It is officially designated as a national monument and functions as a place of worship as well as a landmark of regional heritage. The building is wheelchair accessible.

The cathedral's importance extends to its historical context, architectural innovations, and artistic contributions, making it a key reference point in the study of religious and modern architecture. It hosts cultural events in addition to religious services.
