The existence of a pre-Romanesque church from the year 977 is known. From this period the three apses, the bell tower, some elements of the cloister, and the cellar and the cantonal dining room are preserved, today adapted for other uses. The current cathedral is in Gothic style, begun at the end of the 13th century and finished in the 17th century. To the left of the transept is the chapel of La Mercè, with a Baroque altarpiece probably the work of Carles Morató. On the right is the venerated image of the Virgin of the Cloister, from the 12th century, catalogued as one of the most important sculptures of Catalan Romanesque. The vestibule was expanded at the beginning of the 20th century by August Font. The façade of the vestibule follows a Noucentista line with some Modernist elements.
The Cathedral of Saint Mary of Solsona is a cathedral in Solsona, Catalonia, Spain. It was built between the 12th and 18th centuries, in a mix of the Romanesque, Gothic, and Baroque styles.
