Exterior
The Renaissance portal, due to Pedro de Orea in 1589 , is a magnificent example of the Andalusian Renaissance from the end of the 16th century. In it there is a niche with the images carved in stone of Saint Peter and Saint Paul , with a semicircular arch between pairs of Corinthian columns.
The side façade , designed by Juan de Maeda and carried out by Sebastián de Linaza , was completed in 1568 ; said side is crowned by a statue of the Immaculate Conception from the school of Alonso de Mena .
The tower , somewhat solid but lightened by the setback of the body of bells , the projection of the eaves and, above all, by the exceptional fit in the landscape, dialogues with the main entrance, from where you can see a beautiful perspective of the so-called Tajo de la Alhambra and the towers of the Alcazaba .
