Cathedral of Alcalá de Henares
The Cathedral of Alcalá de Henares has its origins in a chapel built in 414 to house the remains of Justus and Pastor. During the Visigothic period, it was replaced by a cathedral and its bishops attended the Toledo Councils from the beginning of the century. After the destruction of the church by the Muslims, the diocese was abolished in 1099 and attached to the Archdiocese of Toledo. However, the church was rebuilt in 1122. The present building was rebuilt in the 15th century and again between 1497 and 1515, in the Gothic-Isabelinean style typical of that period. A tower was built between 1528 and 1582 and the building took on its present appearance during the 17th century with the addition of the cloister and the chapel of St. Peter.
