Iglesia Catedral de Nuestra Señora de la Encarnación
Iglesia Catedral de Nuestra Señora de la Encarnación, Gothic cathedral in Almería, Spain
The Cathedral of the Incarnation stands as a rectangular fortress with thick walls, corner towers, and battlements integrated into its religious architecture.
Construction started in 1524 after an earthquake destroyed the previous church, with architect Diego de Siloé directing the initial Gothic-style design.
The walnut wood choir stalls display detailed carvings depicting prophets, apostles, and saints, representing biblical narratives through Renaissance craftsmanship.
The cathedral opens Monday through Friday from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM, Saturday from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM, and Sunday from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM.
The corner towers contained cannons and military equipment, making this cathedral one of the few religious buildings designed specifically for defense against pirates.
