What you'll see
A tall Gothic cathedral with a richly carved choir, a lift to the roof for views over the old town, and a leafy cloister where thirteen white geese live.
A brief history
It's dedicated to Saint Eulalia, a young local martyr; the thirteen geese stand for her age when she died. The ornate front was only added in the late 1800s.
