This Christian cathedral in the center of Granada was built on the site of the Islamic mosque in 1523. At first, it was originally planned to build a Gothic cathedral, but the Renaissance was changed during the construction process. This is also the common fate of churches in Europe that have been built for hundreds of years. So after 180 years of construction, the church has become a Granada landmark incorporating Gothic and Renaissance architecture. Although it is not magnificent, it is the main testimony of the history of Granada. By. Look closely at the main church, where the bricks and tiles are revealing the architectural imprints of different periods. The cathedral is made up of three huge arches. The dome of the central chapel is 45 meters high. Even if the architectural style is difficult to define, the stained-glass windows around it and the dome are a must.
