The cathedral has a fortress-like appearance due to its towers, merlons and protected paths, created to defend it from Mediterranean pirates. It was built as a mosque, and later converted into a Christian church, before being destroyed in the 1522 earthquake. In the 16th century it was rebuilt in the Renaissance style, whilst keeping some of its defensive features.
The Cathedral of Almería, in full the Cathedral of the Incarnation of Almería, is a Roman Catholic cathedral in the city of Almería, Andalusia, Spain. It is the seat of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Almería.
