The cathedral combines contributions from different periods rather than one fixed style. From the square, compare its façade with neighbouring buildings and notice how it dominates an irregular urban space. Inside, choir stalls, screens and chapels create changing viewpoints. Interior visiting needs time and separate admission. Check worship and opening arrangements, and distinguish an explanation outside from a complete visit through the church and its associated spaces.
Sources checked on 18 October 2026. Opening and access may change. The walk does not include admission; allow extra time for interiors. Routes have not been audited for accessibility.
Plan this visit
Notice contemporary light too
Contemporary stained glass introduces a more recent contribution within the historic building. We suggest comparing the light in different spaces before focusing on individual chapels. A visit need not consist only of searching for the oldest surviving features.
Choose a question for the interior
Notice how choir, screens and chapels organise what can be seen from each position. Ask how the perspective changes as you move, instead of trying to identify every artwork. A simple observation thread makes the visit more rewarding without turning it into a checklist.
Make a separate decision about the triforium
Cathedral documentation describes an elevated route involving a spiral staircase and narrow passages. Check current availability and conditions, particularly if height or mobility concerns you. General admission should not automatically be interpreted as access to every special route.
