Cathedral of the Nativity of Our Lady of Baeza

The Cathedral of the Nativity of Our Lady of Baeza is a significant Roman Catholic church located in Baeza, Andalusia, Spain. Its history reflects the city’s layered past—from a site that once hosted a mosque to becoming one of the pivotal edifices in the region after the Reconquista

After the Reconquista, the cathedral was built on the location of a former Islamic place of worship. Over the centuries, it has absorbed various influences, mirroring the transition of Spanish society and religious life

While its core dates back to the Renaissance period, the cathedral showcases a mix of stylistic elements. The building embodies the evolving trends of Spanish ecclesiastical architecture, straddling both Gothic traditions and Renaissance innovations.

Baeza, along with the nearby city of Úbeda, is part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This designation underscores the historical and cultural importance of the region’s monuments, including the cathedral.
