The Cathedral of La Encarnacion in Malaga, Spain is considered one of the most valuable Renaissance jewels of Andalusia. It stands within the boundaries of the now-vanished Arab wall, on the site of the original main mosque, the place where the Catholic monarchs Isabella and Ferdinand ordered the construction of a Christian temple just days after conquering the city in 1487. Its construction began in 1528 and was completed in 1782. These photos show various religious exhibits displayed during Lent and Holy Week in the cathedral, photos taken last year. Encarnacion means Incarnation. Please click on each photo to see a larger image.
