Spanish Gothic Cathedrals and Churches

Spanish Gothic cathedrals and churches are medieval religious buildings in Spain that adapted pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and elaborate tracery to local traditions. Spanish Gothic architecture includes large urban cathedrals, monastic churches, and richly decorated later interiors. Burgos, León, and Toledo illustrate varied relationships among structural height, stained glass, sculptural ornament, and the organization of sacred space.
