Cathedral of St. Jakub

Jakub is Santiago (James) in Castilian, he is the patron of the city of Olsztyn and throughout it we see references to his image and the famous Viera shell. The Cathedral of St. James (La Catedral de Santiago Apóstol) was built in the second half of the fourteenth century, it is Gothic. It suffered various renovations, the most important one in 1866, giving it a neogothic style. Inside various styles are mixed: Gothic - walls and the triptych; Renaissance - the triptych of St. John of the Cross; Baroque - sculptures of the apostles and the large crucifix among others. The dome of the nave combines a white background with red brick geometrical lines, so does the exterior.
