Construction began in 1523 under the architect Enrique Egas and passed to Diego de Siloé, who gave it a round main chapel in place of a Gothic apse. It stands on the site of the former main mosque. The interior is tall and pale, with five naves, and the tower on the west side was never finished. The official page suggests about an hour inside.
What to look for
- Siloé's circular main chapel and its dome
- Five naves under pale vaults
- Stained glass above the main chapel
- The unfinished tower seen from outside
