Granada Cathedral Guided Tour | Ticket Included | GranadaTickets

Spain’s first Renaissance cathedral, with a main chapel that has no equivalent anywhere else in the country, and the ticket already included, so you can skip the line.

What will you see on this tour?

Granada Cathedral began construction in 1523, on the site of the city’s former main mosque. Charles V commissioned architect Diego de Siloé to transform the original Gothic design into something no other Spanish cathedral had at the time.

The circular Capilla Mayor

The building’s most distinctive feature. Siloé designed it with a circular floor plan, 22 meters in diameter and crowned by a blue dome decorated with gold stars, an unprecedented solution in Spanish religious architecture of the period. It’s surrounded by 24 stained-glass windows, several of them designed by Siloé himself.

The art of Alonso Cano

Several canvases depicting the life of the Virgin Mary hang on the walls of the Capilla Mayor, the work of 17th-century Granada-born painter Alonso Cano, whose influence runs through much of the church’s interior, alongside works by other masters such as Pedro Bocanegra.

A deliberately bright church

Unlike the usual dimness of Gothic cathedrals, Siloé whitewashed the five naves and opened up large windows — a deliberate choice that floods the entire interior with light, something uncommon in Spanish churches of that era.
