The Renaissance nave and crossing that Bishop Alonso Manrique began to build in 1523 in the middle of the old mosque, despite the opposition of the city council, until Charles V intervened so that it could go ahead. Hernán Ruiz the Elder directed the work, his son Hernán Ruiz the Younger continued with the transept, and Juan de Ochoa finished it with the dome over the crossing, from 1599 to 1607. Inside are the high altarpiece, from 1618 to 1653, and the choir stalls by Pedro Duque Cornejo, from 1748 to 1757.
