Granada Cathedral.

Explore Granada Cathedral On the crowded streets, it is not easy to see the full view of the magnificent cathedral of Granada, which is hidden in the surrounding buildings and can only be glimpsed through narrow and winding alleys. Like many churches in Spain, this church was also rebuilt on the site of a former mosque (it is worth mentioning that this conversion is not uncommon in history, and mosques are often built on the ruins of churches). At first, the church had a Gothic appearance, but after nearly two centuries (1523–1704) of construction, its appearance changed dramatically. During this long period, architect Diego de Silo made drastic changes to the layout of the church, giving it a Renaissance flavor. Then, Alonso Cano added a magnificent Baroque facade to the church, a masterpiece of the 17th century. Cano also added two exquisite wooden busts of Adam and Eve to the altar of the main chapel. Inside the church, 20 thick white columns stand majestically, like guardian gods, supporting a vast space between the black and white tiled floor and the ceiling. Looking up, the 30-meter-high dome is breathtaking, as if you are in a sacred and solemn world.
