The Cathedral of Granada, also known as the Cathedral of Incarnation, occupies pride of place in the city. It is one of the most prominent structures of Andalucia. The Cathedral was constructed on the site of a former mosque in 1561. The gorgeous structure begs exploration, so make sure you have a few hours to spare. We love the arches, balcony, the main altar, and the colourful glass windows of the Cathedral of Granada. The overall architecture of the Cathedral of Granada is distinctive and marks a pleasant departure from the layout of cathedrals found all over Spain. The huge building is interesting primarily because it represents the conflation of Islamic and Christian elements. For this reason, it is a gold mine for architecture students, photographers, and history enthusiasts. It also provides the perfect excuse to cool off after a long day under the Spanish sun. Entry is only €4—definitely worth it!
