Canonical Chapter of the Cathedral of Santa María de Tui

With the Muslim invasion, the episcopal see abandoned the city and took refuge in Iria. The bishopric of Tui was restored by Ordoño II of León in the year 915, although in the following years, it experienced a rather turbulent existence due to various invasions and occupations of the territory. The definitive restoration took place in 1071, when Infanta Urraca († 1101), daughter of Ferdinand I of León, made a donation to the cathedral and placed it under the patronage of the Virgin Mary. Although the exact location of the cathedral in earlier times remains uncertain, at that time, the episcopal see was situated in the monastery of San Bartolomeu de Rebordáns, on the plain.

The construction of the cathedral took place between the 12th and 13th centuries, and the church was consecrated in 1225. The main portal can be dated to the first half of the 13th century. The cloister, built between the 12th and 15th centuries, was largely developed during the 13th century, although there are discrepancies regarding its chronology. In the 15th century, during the rule of Tui by the Sotomayor family, other annexed structures were added.
