Basilica of San Vicente
The Basilica of San Vicente or Basilica of Los Santos Mártires Vicente, Sabina y Cristeta, was built in honour of these brothers, martyred in the 4th century during the persecution of the Christians ordered by the Prefect Dacian. The sides of their tomb relate the story of their persecution and death.
Work on the temple began in the 12th century, and it is a clear example of the transition from the Romanesque to the Gothic style. Notable features include the apse, the central vaults and the main portico, also known as the ‘Portico of Glory’, with its elaborately carved archivolts. The triple apse rises up to a great height, crowned by a clearly Gothic dome, with lancet windows on all four sides.
