It was founded by Bishop Jerome of Périgord, in the 12th-Century and completed in Romanesque/Gothic style in the 14th-Century. It is dedicated to Santa Maria de la Sede (Saint Mary of the See).
The Apse houses a large Cycle of fifty-three Tablets, twelve of which are by the 15th-Century Italian artist, Dello Delli, depicting the life of Jesus and the Virgin Mary. A fresco of the Final Judgement is over them. Juan Francés de Iribarren was organist at the Old Cathedral in 1717–1733.
