It was begun in 1510 with Pedro de Morales's Gothic body, now the choir and trascoro, on the site of the great mosque, which in 1492 had become a cathedral by a bull of Innocent VIII. Diego de Siloé was commissioned in 1549 for the plans, which gave the apse and part of the crossing, and the works ended in the Baroque, with the Encarnación façade built between 1754 and 1799. The façade figures and the choir reliefs are reconstructions made after the Civil War; the tower is climbed by 160 steps.
