Resumen
[ES]La catedral de Jaén constituye uno de los principales ejemplos del Renacimiento en España. En un primer momento se aprovechó la antigua mezquita como templo
cristiano, posteriormente se pusieron en marcha dos proyectos góticos y finalmente se
apostó por el renacentista que vemos en la actualidad. La fidelidad al diseño de
Vandelvira fue una constante, pese a que por diversos motivos, especialmente de tipo
económico, las obras tardaron en finalizarse casi dos siglos. Uno de los espacios más interesantes y más complejos de estudiar es la cabecera del templo. En ella se aúnan elementos góticos, renacentistas, barrocos e incluso neoclásicos. Este estudio se
centra en la transformación de la cabecera gótica en la renacentista actual.
[EN]The Cathedral of Jaen is not only one of the most important icons of the city but it is also one of the jewels of the Spanish Renaissance. Before the existing building was built, the cathedral was housed in the antique mosque which was on the same site. Later two different gothic cathedrals were built before the existing renaissance temple was constructed. During the almost two centuries that it took to complete the building, fidelity to architect Andres de Vandelvira’s original design was a constant. One of the most interesting and difficult spaces in the cathedral to study is the ambulatory in which there are renaissance, baroque and neoclassical elements as well as some elements from the previous gothic buildings. This study is focused on the transformation of the ambulatory from its gothic origins to its current renaissance state.
