Main altarpiece, Catedral de la Natividad de Nuestra
Main baroque altarpiece, by Alonso Rosillo in 1619, and Manuel del Alamo, in 1674 and gilded by Manuel Pancorbo in 1741, in the choir of the Catedral de la Natividad de Nuestra Senora, or Cathedral of the Nativity of Our Lady, in Baeza, Jaen, Andalusia, Spain. In the centre of the altarpiece is a reliquary urn containing the remains of San Pedro Pascual, and a niche with the Virgin of the Martyrs. To either side are statues of St Peter and St Paul and paintings of St Jacob and St Euphrasius. Built on the site of a mosque, the current building was commissioned by Bishop Francisco Delgado Lopez and designed by Andres de Vandelvira in Renaissance style in the 16th century. The cathedral is listed as a historic monument and the Renaissance buildings of Ubeda and Baeza are listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Picture by Manuel Cohen
