About Santa Catalina
Santa Catalina was founded in 1245 on the site of a mosque, after the arrival of James I. Its Gothic interior has an ambulatory behind the altar, shared in the city only with the cathedral, and its acoustics suit choral concerts. The Baroque tower can be climbed Monday to Saturday, 11am–1pm (in summer also 5pm–7pm).
