Granada Cathedral • Section 1 of 5

Welcome to one of the most magnificent landmarks in all of Spain. As you stand here at number five Calle Gran Via de Colon, you are looking at the Cathedral of the Incarnation, or as locals call it, the Catedral de Granada. This site is more than just a church; it is a symbol of a massive turning point in history.^{[2] [3] [4]} After the Christian Reconquista of the city in fourteen ninety-two, the Catholic Monarchs, Queen Isabella the First and King Ferdinand the Second, ordered this cathedral to be built directly over the city's Great Mosque. Imagine the change: where minarets and calls to prayer once rose, these massive stone walls were built to declare a new era. Take a moment to look at the sheer scale of the exterior. This building was meant to be the royal pantheon of Spain, and though the monarchs are buried next door in the Royal Chapel, the cathedral remains a breathtaking testament to their vision of triumph.
