Zaragoza has two cathedrals. La Seo ("The See"), at the end of this square, was the more senior church, but El Pilar ("The Pillar"), to the left, was a popular pilgrimage site. It is named for a pillar where St Mary is said to have appeared to St James. The churches jostled to be the city's cathedral, until rhe Pope solved by the dispute by making them both cathedrals.
.
El Pilar is Zaragoza's most iconic building, but La Seo is the more interesting one to visit.

How Medieval Cathedrals Were Built Without Science, or Even Mathematics

Science and engineering may be conflated to some degree in the public mind, but anyone who's spent much time in an academic department belonging to one or the other of those branches of endeavor knows how insistently distinctions can be drawn between them.

Westminster Cathedral. The premier Catholic cathedral in the country was built in a Greek/Byzantine revival style rather than traditional churchy Gothic to avoid challenging nearby Westminster Abbey.
