Signs detailing the cathedral's history and layout abound. This cathedral was dedicated in 1224, and was first harmed by fire in 1270. According to Wikipedia, there were also fires in 1390 and 1402. The cathedral has been in ruins since the late 17th century, but some restoration work began occurring in the early 1800's.
