Cathedral of Baeza, Renaissance cathedral in Baeza, Spain
The Cathedral of Baeza is a Renaissance house of worship in Spain with a monumental north-facing facade and three entrance porticos. The interior combines Gothic vaults with Renaissance decoration and contains multiple chapels and notable altars throughout.
The building was founded in 1227 on the site of a former mosque and underwent major redesign starting in 1567 under architect Andrés de Vandelvira. This transformation made it a significant Renaissance project in the region.
The cathedral blends Gothic and Renaissance styles in its vaults and decoration, showing how architectural tastes changed over time. Walking through its interior reveals layers of artistic choices from different periods merged into one space.
The cathedral is open daily to visitors with access to main spaces and chapels. It is best to arrive in the morning to avoid crowds and see architectural details in better light.
The Golden Chapel inside was designed by Vandelvira and blends Italian Renaissance elements with detailed reliefs and paintings. This chapel is often overlooked compared to the main spaces but rewards visitors with exceptional craftsmanship.
