The city of Almer\u00eda was an easy target for Mediterranean pirates. This constant threat led to the design of a cathedral, conceived as a veritable fortified temple.<br\/>The particularly thick reinforced walls and uniform flat roof, designed to accommodate defensive systems, bear witness to this protective function. You&#8217;ll be impressed by the perimeter surrounded by wide walls and sturdy buttresses.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Andalucia-Lovers\/Almeria\/Cathedral\/i-ZZpZr2v\/0\/MqdX6j465Zt5gfjfxxGRRB7s9dWJkxkLSfskVK7zQ\/L\/cathedral-incarnation-almeria-20-L.jpg\" alt=\"Almer&#xED;a Cathedral - Overview of the fortifications\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<p>The defensive aspect is also reflected in the four circular towers at the corners, which once housed cannons to defend the town. If you look closely at the facades, you&#8217;ll notice the presence of crenellations and embrasures, real loopholes ensuring the protection of the holy site. We were intrigued by these unusual military features for a place of worship.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Andalucia-Lovers\/Almeria\/Cathedral\/i-ghbNSrR\/0\/LT9pvmCGzGZ7VgdcLBsptkzzb7jsfBWt3NNJcWbHW\/L\/cathedral-incarnation-almeria-17-L.jpg\" alt=\"Almer&#xED;a Cathedral - Overview of the fortifications\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<p>This defensive vocation is also reflected in the interior architecture. We noted the absence of the traditional stained glass windows, replaced by more modest openings. Even more surprising is the fact that all three naves are the same height, unlike traditional Gothic cathedrals where the central nave is higher. There were purely pragmatic reasons for this: the flat roof provided better defense in the event of an attack.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Andalucia-Lovers\/Almeria\/Cathedral\/i-kDbwSxn\/0\/LzfZnfZMFqmffQrfLpBHBsHTb8Lp66wm8kKBhKMGh\/L\/cathedral-incarnation-almeria-18-L.jpg\" alt=\"Almer&#xED;a Cathedral - Interior architecture\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The different facades: a way of embellishing the fortress<\/h3>\n\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve detailed the cathedral&#8217;s defensive elements, you can turn your attention to the decorative details. On the main portal, a major work by Juan de Orea in the mid-16th century, numerous motifs are interwoven. Christian, Marian and even pagan symbols coexist harmoniously to embellish the fa\u00e7ade, which was once the cathedral&#8217;s front door.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Andalucia-Lovers\/Almeria\/Cathedral\/i-w7pHgLr\/0\/MnCVj9SBCsR8sxC8LMt5LtsmZ8QjzbWnNN3vJj6Sc\/L\/cathedral-incarnation-almeria-21-L.jpg\" alt=\"Almer&#xED;a Cathedral - Main facade\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Main facade<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<p>You can then admire La Porte du Pardon, also by Juan de Orea, completed in 1569. Typical Renaissance elements are combined with antique architectural features: columns, pilasters, shell-shaped niches and various moldings.  <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Andalucia-Lovers\/Almeria\/Cathedral\/i-XjTmWzQ\/0\/LmfWR2NsD9nJPFw7dX9q2B4L4RrWcJGLTvxDMn2FZ\/L\/cathedral-incarnation-almeria-03-L.jpg\" alt=\"Almer&#xED;a Cathedral - Pardon Gate\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Pardon Gate<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<p>More sober but just as imposing, the two-section square bell tower completes the monumental ensemble.

This masterly 17th-century work was created by Juan Antonio Munar.<br\/>It&#8217;s hard to imagine that the cloister was originally conceived as a place of arms to reinforce the fortified character of the enclosure.  <br\/>It was the only link to the outside world from the cathedral.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Andalucia-Lovers\/Almeria\/Cathedral\/i-zWCNLJv\/0\/LtR7h2BPdQdLm25Wd2qcHW7rzzNwMXnXNB6C9nB3B\/L\/cathedral-incarnation-almeria-19-L.jpg\" alt=\"Almer&#xED;a Cathedral - Cloister\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Opulent interiors: discover the Cathedral&#8217;s 3 must-see treasures<\/h2>\n\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve admired the contrast between the sobriety of the fortress and the ornamentation of its facades, you can discover the flamboyant decor of its interiors.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The choir: the Renaissance masterpiece of Almer\u00eda Cathedral<\/h3>\n\n<p>When you enter the cathedral, you&#8217;ll come straight into the cathedral choir, as the former entrance is now closed.  <br\/>This is where the canons used to gather for the reading of the Office.<br\/>You&#8217;re sure to marvel at the finely carved walnut wood sculpture, a true Renaissance masterpiece by Juan de Orea.<br\/>Take time to admire the two rows of seats on two levels: the upper stalls feature a gallery of saints, prophets and martyrs, while the lower stalls feature medallions with anthropomorphic effigies evoking Greco-Latin art. The seats are separated by Ionic columns.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Andalucia-Lovers\/Almeria\/Cathedral\/i-WkxzNwq\/0\/M5pzKStZnqSHN8czVXkPDwCgkwGpJ58g9CGHgSXgm\/L\/cathedral-incarnation-almeria-09-L.jpg\" alt=\"Almer&#xED;a Cathedral - view of the choir\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<p>The <em>trascoro<\/em> (rear choir), designed by Ventura Rodr\u00edguez, is a fine example of 18th-century neoclassical art. We were captivated by the harmony that emanates from this ensemble, where a magnificent Immaculate Conception in pure marble occupies the central niche, escorted by statues of Santo Domingo de Guzm\u00e1n and San Juan Nepomuceno.<br\/>On the atic just above, you&#8217;ll find a medallion of God surmounted by two praying angels and a cross.<br\/>Don&#8217;t you think the arrangement of the columns and the mix of colors in the materials (marble, jasper, alabaster) add a touch of elegance to the whole?<br\/>On the forged railing, you&#8217;ll notice an inscription from the Song of Songs (&#8220;Thou art beautiful my friend, there is no flaw in thee&#8221;) in reference to the Virgin Mary.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Andalucia-Lovers\/Almeria\/Cathedral\/i-SDfgchw\/0\/K3xfL3vqc4zLmxkTnD4NCJgzbDt3KBtqfsskcg9pL\/L\/cathedral-incarnation-almeria-07-L.jpg\" alt=\"Almer&#xED;a Cathedral - The Renaissance choir\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The major chapel abounds<\/h3>\n\n<p>Just behind the choir, you&#8217;ll find the main chapel, linked to the ambulatory by 5 semicircular arches. This feature of Eastern cathedrals allows the Blessed Sacrament to be adored from any angle.<br\/>Look up: above the marble altar is a series of paintings and relief sculptures depicting the life of Christ.<br\/><br\/>The first level represents adoration, while the second represents Calvary.<br\/>The central panel features a remarkable relief of the Incarnation of Christ in Mary, considered to be the work of Granada master Pablo de Rojas. The calvary above it depicts Christ crucified by Jer\u00f3nimo Quijano, a pioneer of Renaissance sculpture in Spain.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Andalucia-Lovers\/Almeria\/Cathedral\/i-CxPwWjV\/0\/K82Jk8r4wvjknNH78CKqVQ4mv7rH5R7qHKGdxjZ3C\/L\/cathedral-incarnation-almeria-10-L.jpg\" alt=\"Almer&#xED;a Cathedral - The main chapel, detail of paintings\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve detailed the chapel&#8217;s ceiling, linger over the impressive alabaster, jasper and marble tabernacle, designed by Ventura Rodr\u00edguez.<br\/>In the form of a baldaquin, this neoclassical work was created in 1775.<br\/>Observe its monumental structure, framed by twin Corinthian columns and crowned by a richly decorated dome.<br\/>You won&#8217;t know where to turn with all the allegorical and hagiographic figures that adorn the whole: saints, evangelists, doctors and prophets rub shoulders. Finally, beneath the altar, you&#8217;ll find a silver urn containing the relics of the bishop who founded this &#8220;second cathedral&#8221;, Fray Diego Fern\u00e1ndez de Villal\u00e1n.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Andalucia-Lovers\/Almeria\/Cathedral\/i-tfchNXZ\/0\/KqkdQFvrnwTMZN5HncVmSZKz2k7HFjdM78VVtP5b3\/L\/almeria-cathedral-1-L.jpg\" alt=\"Almer&#xED;a Cathedral - The main chapel\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The sacristy<\/h3>\n\n<p>Finally, the main sacristy is one of the cathedral&#8217;s most prestigious spaces, a true jewel of Renaissance art in southern Spain.<br\/>Designed in the 16th century by Juan de Orea as a place for the preparation of ministers of religion, its architecture perfectly combines function and beauty.<br\/>You&#8217;ll be seduced by the Renaissance classicism that uniformly covers the entire perimeter, from the base to the barrel vault divided into three sections.  <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Andalucia-Lovers\/Almeria\/Cathedral\/i-Xf5jb6v\/0\/KbX3xH2zKpSJ7HSLGH2HRnTN5rKNQ2tJXNfpC8Wjk\/L\/cathedral-incarnation-almeria-12-L.jpg\" alt=\"Almer&#xED;a Cathedral - The sacristy\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<p>Observe the arches, anthropomorphic busts and other decorative motifs (angels, flowers, dragons) that adorn the space.

feature numerous pieces of sacred art.<br\/>We also recommend you take a look at the painting of the Immaculate Conception by Joseph Antulinies (1670) in the nave to the left of the <em>trascoro<\/em>. We also particularly appreciated the trompe l&#8217;oeil of the organ (dating from 1775). Next to the chapter house, you&#8217;ll also find a small museum well worth a visit.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Andalucia-Lovers\/Almeria\/Cathedral\/i-NjGg9jb\/0\/Lbr84sP3V3f8B6ZMw6d4wrnZNVPTWdvvmTZP2WBCh\/L\/cathedral-incarnation-almeria-15-L.jpg\" alt=\"Almer&#xED;a Cathedral - Museum  \"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is the Cathedral still a place of worship?<\/h3>\n\n<p>Yes, Almer\u00eda Cathedral is still an active Catholic place of worship.

This bas-relief with an anthropomorphic face edged with ribbons adorns the surrounding wall of the Chapel of the Holy Christ. Although it predates the time of Bishop Portocarrero, popular tradition has given it this name, which still survives today. Today, it is the symbol of the city!<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\"
