Granada has a very large cathedral built over a mosque that used to be on the site. The bell tower is one block shorter than planned because the site is sandy and not stable enough for such a large structure. They could have built elsewhere but they really wanted it there.
It is very large.
It was built as the catholic influence returned to the region.
It is quite bright inside with all the windows and white walls.
There was pretty nice stained glass too.
According to the audio guide it is some of the best stained glass in Europe for the time period.
It does have a massive organ with over 1000 pipes.
There are several very elaborate altars in the side niches.
There is also this sculpture of John the Baptist.
In the treasury they have the robes and other cloth used during funerals which is why there are skeletons on everything.
Here are the choir books.
They don’t have much on each page and are a little big to handle.
Here is one of the holders for the choir. I guess it is that big so they can see it.
