Facade, Cathedral of the Incarnation, Granada, Andalusia, Spain

Main facade of Granada Cathedral, or the Cathedral of the Incarnation, built 16th and 17th centuries in Renaissance style with Baroque elements, Granada, Andalusia, Southern Spain. The facade is a framed structure with a triumphal arch of 3 portals with pillars crowned by semicircular arches supported on pilasters. Several architects worked on the cathedral, which, unusually, has 5 naves and a circular capilla mayor instead of an apse. Granada was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1984.
