  • The organ in Jaca Cathedral was built in 1860 by Hermenegildo Gómez. He partly used material from the old organ of the church, which dates back to an instrument by Juan de la Sala from 1467, and had been converted by Domingo Aguirre in 1706. The organ case from 1467, made by Juan Orna, was demolished.
  • In 1909 Nemesio Gómez carried out an overhaul. The organ was restored in 1923 by the company Organeria Aquilino Amezua and expanded with some romantic stops. Luis Galindo carried out major maintenance in 1981. In 2017-2018 the organ was completely restored by Organeriá Acitores.
