Granada Cathedral

At Granada, Andalusia, Granada Cathedral brings together a substantial sacred tradition with architecture and history that extend beyond purely local importance. A major Renaissance cathedral created after the Christian conquest of Granada, notable for the work of Diego de Siloé. The cathedral was begun in the 16th century in the new Christian civic and religious centre of Granada.

Diego de Siloé reworked the project by combining a Renaissance elevation and monumental domed sanctuary with a Gothic-derived plan. Later construction introduced additional Renaissance and Baroque elements, including the principal façade associated with Alonso Cano. Architecturally, the site is characterised by spanish renaissance with gothic planning and baroque elements.
