The infobox gives 1077 to 1130, though the text says the start is unknown and only generally placed around 1077, with the main section done around 1130. The article names no architect. Giovanni de Moreto directed work on the Saint Michael chapel.
The style is Romanesque and Gothic in the infobox, and the text also cites Renaissance, Baroque and Mannerist elements. A fire in 1395 destroyed the original wooden ceiling, and cross vaults replaced it. An early 16th-century renovation added aisles and enlarged the nave. Manuel Bayeu painted the central apse in 1792 and 1793.
It is the seat of the Diocese of Jaca and was classified as a Monument on June 3, 1931. The article gives no visiting details.
