The famous Granada Cathedral is one of the most important monuments for Spanish Renaissance architecture in Southern Spain. The cupola, domed ceiling, and altar have been created innovatively and fascinatingly. Your tickets include access to the Granada Cathedral.
Often referred to as Siloé’s masterpieces, the Royal Chapel is filled with symbolism and mythology. Its famous door, the Puerto del Perdón, is intricately designed and the other subjects of the Chapel represent the life, passion, and death of Jesus Christ. These stunning decorations are some of the most important works of the Spanish Renaissance era! However, only certain tickets such as the 2-hour and 5.5-hour guided tours of the Granada Cathedral include access to the Royal Chapel.
The side chapels of Granada Cathedral contain excellent altarpieces and paintings that simply can’t be missed! The presence of the side chapels is characteristic of a Gothic floor plan and seamlessly blends with the Renaissance architecture of the Cathedral.
The Cathedral Museum houses some interesting artifacts, including the original blueprints made by Diego de Siloé. Diego had a different design for the Granada Cathedral, but after his death, his original design underwent many changes. Eventually, the Granada Cathedral was constructed in a very different way from Siloé’s original drawing.
The cupola, or dome of the Granada Cathedral is the most important part of the monument. The dome of the Cathedral is decorated with beautiful stained glass, sculptures, and paintings by Alonso Cano. It also has three gorgeous doors-Ecce Homo, San Jerónimo, and El Perdón.
The Puerto del Perdón is the main door of Granada Cathedral and Siloé’s masterpiece. Siloé worked on the doorway from 1535 to 1538, and the exquisite craftsmanship of the door is a living testimony to Siloé’s genius as a sculptor, carpenter, and architect.
The stained-glass windows of Granada Cathedral are full of complexity and symbolism. They are also extremely valuable pieces of art because of their scarcity and rarity. Rather than looking like paintings drawn on canvas, the paintings on the windows of Granada Cathedral appear like paintings on glass.
The main façade of Granada Cathedral was designed in 1667 by Alonso Cano, and features both Baroque and Gothic architectural elements. Some Baroque-inspired elements that can be seen on the façade are the oeil-de-boeuf windows and the ornamentation on top of the plaques and cartouches.
Open from 10:00 AM to 8:15 PM from Monday to Saturday. On Sundays and bank holidays, Granada Cathedral opens from 3:00 PM to 6:15 PM.
The Cathedral remains closed on 25th December and 1st January.
