Lugo Cathedral, officially known as the Cathedral of Santa María, is a Roman Catholic church located in the city of Lugo, Galicia, Spain. This impressive cathedral dates back to the 12th century, showcasing a blend of Romanesque, Gothic, Baroque, and Neoclassical architectural styles due to various renovations and expansions over the centuries. One of its most distinctive features is that it has maintained the tradition of the Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament continuously since the Middle Ages, a unique practice that has earned it the title of "the City of the Blessed Sacrament." The cathedral's interior is adorned with beautiful artwork, intricate stone carvings, and a striking altarpiece, making it a significant site for both worshippers and visitors.
