Iglesia de Santa Cruz, Baroque Catholic cathedral in Cádiz, Spain.
The cathedral features three naves with coffered ceilings, a rectangular tower topped with glazed ceramic spire, and understated exterior decorations including three shields.
King Alfonso X of Castile commissioned the church in 1262 on the site of a former mosque, and it served as the main cathedral until 1838.
The main altar, completed in 1647 by Alejandro Saavedra, represents the peak of Cádiz Baroque sculpture with twelve niches containing apostolic figures.
The cathedral stands in Plaza de Fray Félix between the New Cathedral and Roman Amphitheater, with its tower connecting to the Accounting Building.
The Genoese Chapel contains a colored marble altarpiece from 1671 with statues of four saints and a wooden crucifix from the 17th century.
