Cathedral de la Encarnacion, Almeria

This fortified behemoth of a basilica was designed in the 16th century with a dual role: as a place of worship, but also to protect the citizens when pirates attacked the city of Almeria after the Reconquest. Built in 1524, after an earthquake destroyed the previous structure, the cathedral is constructed, like so many churches in Spain, on the site of a mosque.

Granada City - Colegiata de San Salvador

This church is called a colegiata, or school, because its original purpose was to teach Christianity to the Moors after the conquest in 1492. This mission was first installed in the Great Mosque of the Albaicin.

El Albaicín, Granada

El Albaicín is the old Moorish quarter of the city. It's located on a hill facing the Alhambra and there are dramatic views of this area from the palace's famous rose gardens. The Zirid Monarchs first established their court here in the 11th century although little remains from this era today, apart from some crumbling remains of the wall.
