Primada: Toledo Cathedral's 800th Anniversary Exhibition

The exhibition 'Primada' at Toledo Cathedral marks the 800th anniversary of the Gothic cathedral's construction, which began in 1226 under Ferdinand III. Curated by Benito Navarrete and Javier Martínez de Aguirre, it showcases European artists, acquisitions, and donations that have enriched the cathedral's heritage. The show is divided into two sections: the first covers the 13th to 15th centuries, featuring Marian images, manuscripts, and relics; the second spans the 16th to 19th centuries, highlighting the Ochavo relic chapel and works by El Greco, Velázquez, Zurbarán, and Goya. Notable pieces include the restored 'Assumption of the Virgin' and 'Ascension of Christ' by Francesco Albani, and a newly attributed 'Santa Marina' by Eugenio Cajés. The exhibition runs from May 25 to October 14, 2026, and includes rarely opened spaces and recently attributed works.
