Conjunto histórico y monumental, construido entre finales del siglo XIII y el XIV sobre el antiguo monasterio y abadía de los santos Emeterio y Celedonio. Comprende dos iglesias superpuestas y un claustro con dependencias anejas.

Sobre el cerro rodeado de agua, donde estuvo el asentamiento romano del Puerto de la Victoria, a partir del siglo VIII se levantó una iglesia para guardar las reliquias de los Mártires sacrificados en Calahorra cinco siglos antes. Sus cráneos fueron traídos por los que huían de la invasión musulmana de la Península Ibérica.

Fue elevado a rango de colegiata en 1131 por el rey Alfonso VII, el Emperador, y comenzada la reconstrucción de los actuales edificios por iniciativa de Alfonso VIII, tras la concesión del fuero de Santander en 1187.

En 1754 la Colegiata de los Cuerpos Santos fue transformada en catedral por el papa Benedicto XIV, como cabeza del nuevo Obispado de Santander.

Sufrió considerables desperfectos con motivo de la explosión de la dinamita del vapor Cabo Machichaco (1893) y durante el posterior incendio del centro de la ciudad (1941). La respetuosa restauración llevada a cabo sobre las partes afectadas permite hoy contemplar en todo su valor las destacadas cualidades arquitectónicas del monumento original.
