Baza Cathedral, Renaissance cathedral in Baza, Spain

The Co-Cathedral features a tall bell tower topped with an octagonal lantern rising against the Andalusian sky of Granada Province.

Construction started in 1529 on a former mosque site, but an earthquake caused the original Gothic structure to collapse, leading to its Renaissance redesign by 1549.

The cathedral stands as a testament to the architectural transition from Islamic to Christian influence in southern Spain during the 16th century.

The cathedral maintains regular visiting hours and functions as the primary Roman Catholic church for the local community of 20,000 residents.

The building incorporates both Gothic and Renaissance elements, resulting from the reconstruction necessitated by the earthquake during its initial construction phase.
