Jaca Cathedral has provoked big debates about its date of construction.
Some investigators are sure that the building can be dated in 1063. Other experts think that the construction was around ten or twenty years later, although the Cathedral is one of the first buildings in Spain constructed following the International Romanesque trends.
The Cathedral has three naves with alternatings supports between pillars and exempt columns.
The three naves finish in three apses.
The central, is the deepest. It was reformed in the XVIII to install the organ there.
A curious piece of information is that inside the Cathedral is situated too the parish church dedicated to Santa Orosia. If you want to visit when you came into the Cathedral only turn left and you will find it.
Below the altar of the Cathedral are three silver boxes. One of them contains the remains of S. Indalecio, another guards the bodies of S. Voto and S. Félix. And the third silver box is occupied by the remains of an important character: Santa Orosia.
