The Cathedral of St. John the Baptist is a masterpiece of Southern Gothic architecture.
The Romanesque church of Saint-Jean le Vieux had become too small, and the construction of a new edifice was initiated by Sanç de Majorque in 1324.
The collapse of the Majorcan kingdom brought construction to a halt, but it was resumed in the 15th century,
The original three-aisle plan was abandoned: the Mallorcan architect Guillem Sagrera, one of the leading architects of his time and designer of the cathedral in Palma de Mallorca, opted for a single, large Gothic nave. The work was completed in 1509.
The church became a cathedral in 1602. The façade was adorned with a porch in the 17th century and a wrought-iron campanile in the 18th century.
