Granada Cathedral, Spain

The Cathedral of the Incarnation of Granada, as it is also known, is a 16th-century monument, built under Charles V and is one of the masterpieces of Renaissance architecture in Spain. It was built at a time when renaissance design was supplanting the previously dominant Gothic style and, furthermore, Granada was, at the time, a cultural centre independent from the rest of the kingdom, which contributed to its unique renaissance features. The royal chapel is the resting place of Fernando and Isabel, the kings that conquered Granada.
