Palmi Cathedral was first mentioned between 1310 and 1311. The church, destroyed by an earthquake on 5th February 1783, was rebuilt between 1740 and 1743; extensions and modifications were carried out in March 1786. After being rebuilt following an earthquake, St. Nicholas again suffered severe damage in the 1908 earthquake, so that the building was demolished in 1909. The present building was consecrated in 1932.

The wooden church of Palūšė (St. Joseph's Church) is a major monument of Lithuanian sacred wooden architecture. The present church was built in the middle of the 18th century without iron nails. In 1800, an octagonal bell tower, unique in Lithuania, was added. Together with the church, it forms a coherent and harmonious architectural ensemble.

The current building was constructed following the Wars of Religion, having greatly affected the city and destroying the previous cathedral. Its construction was not completed until 1689. The plan for this new cathedral was attributed to Mansart or his nephew, Jules Hardouin-Mansart. Only the gate dating from the 12th century, in Romanesque style, remains from the first building.

The construction of Pamplona Cathedral extended from the 14th to the 19th century, as evidenced by the eclectic style of the cathedral. The body of the church was built between 1394 and 1501 and is mainly Gothic style, as shown by the magnificent cloister. The main facade dates from 1784 - 1805 and is a pure neoclassical work.
