Om
Snabba fakta: Två helt olika arkitekturstilar möts under samma tak. Det gotiska långhuset reser sig ovanför en romansk korsgång från 1100-talet där katter har bott i århundraden.
Höjdpunkter: En sten inne i korsgångens vägg visar ett kattavtryck som tryckts in i murbruket för över 800 år sedan. Lokalbefolkningen säger att katedralens bofasta katter är direkta ättlingar till de råttfångare som höll det medeltida klostret fritt från gnagare.
Insidertips
- Head straight to the cloister first thing, before the guided tours fill the space with chatter.
- Look for the cat paw print embedded in the mortar of the cloister's northeast wall, near the chapter house entrance.
- The museum inside holds a stunning 15th-century altarpiece, but skip the audioguide and just read the wall panels instead.
- Wear comfortable shoes; the climb to the upper terraces rewards you with rooftop views over Tarragona's old town.
