The Holy Cathedral Church of El Salvador and Santa María de Orihuela, or simply Orihuela Cathedral, is one of the cathedral headquarters of the diocese of Orihuela-Alicante, together with the co-cathedral of San Nicolás de Bari of Alicante.
Its construction began at the end of the 13th century on Visigoth and Spanish-Arab remains. In 1281, Alfonso X the Wise established that the church of El Salvador and Santa María should be the largest in the town, taking precedence over the other two parishes of Orihuela, the churches of Santas Justa and Rufina and Santiago Apóstol, granting him the superior rank of arciprestal.
Although at first, Orihuela belonged to Castile, it passed definitively to the Aragonese Crown in 1304, after the arbitration treaty of Torrellas. However, on a spiritual level he continued to depend on the Bishopric of Cartagena. This situation, in which the civil and ecclesiastical limits did not coincide and the inconveniences that this produced, gave rise to the need to segregate their territory from the Diocese of Cartagena.
The first achievement on the way to the cathedral was its elevation in 1413, by the bull of Benedict XIII, to the rank of schoolboy, a category that was necessary for a church to be promoted to the cathedral. In 1510, Pope Julius II decreed the elevation to the cathedral rank of the Collegiate Church of El Salvador, the creation of the Bishopric of Orihuela and its canonical union with that of Cartagena under the authority of a single Bishop, "sub uno pastore", according to the recommendations of Fernando the Catholic. This measure was subsequently annulled by Leo X and Clement VII, attending to the pleas of King Carlos V.
We will have to wait until 1564 when Pope Pius IV definitively separates Orihuela from the diocese of Cartagena, creating his own bishopric at the request of King Philip II, in compliance with the agreement adopted in the Monzon Courts of 1563.
