About This Book

A survey of the great cathedrals of northern Spain that combines historical narrative with close architectural description and practical guidance for visitors. It considers structural elements such as choirs, cloisters, and high altars alongside decorative arts including carved choir stalls, monumental retablos, silver sagrarios, and wrought-iron rejas, and traces how Gothic, Renaissance, Mudejar, plateresque, and local traditions are layered to form distinctive hybrid interiors. The author discusses the bishops and rulers connected with individual churches, offers criteria for assessing unity and harmony of styles, and supplements the text with illustrations, appendices, and bibliographic notes for further study.
