Cathedral of Granada has impressive facades and a stunning interior with a grand altar and several chapels. It is the 4th largest Cathedral in the world.

The first stone of the Cathedral of Granada was laid in 1523 on the site of the ancient mosque. Its architect was Enrique Egas, master of the Old Gothic School.
These works, concentrating on the foundations, lasted five years.

He persuade the King to change the style, which was possible because what built Egas was only the foundation.
And herein lies the skill of Siloe, to build a Renaissance cathedral on Gothic foundations.

The Cathedral of Granada was left incomplete in its facade. Of the two towers planned, only one was built one and its height had to be lowered because the foundations for a Gothic cathedral could not resist the heavy mass of the tower.
Note: the tombs of Los Reyes Catolicos are not in the cathedral itself but in the adjacent building. The Royal Chapel is only accessible by paying a separate fee at a separate entrance.
