Resum
Studies about the Cathedral of Granada frequently emphasize the diaphanous opening of the presbytery to the ambulatory through seven vaulted passages. From the constructive point of view, these elements present interesting features, such as the splaying, the contrast between the planar arch in the ambulatory and the concave side in the main chapel, and the asymmetry of the extreme passages, caused by the complex articulation between nave, ambulatory and presbitery. In addition, these vaults are among the first pieces executed in Spain using the construction technique called “bóvedas por cruceros”, which is based on a network of ribs that supports severies. This study presents a detailed survey of these vaults, an analysis of their geometric and stereotomic characteristics, and a commentary on the diffuse influence of these pieces in later literature.
