Summary

The Cathedral of Baeza stands out as a paradigm of cohesive architectural synthesis, blending diverse styles into a unified formal language under the influence of Andrés de Vandelvira. This study reveals how Vandelvira's geometric precision and rhythmic modulation of structural elements transformed the cathedral's interior into an atmosphere of serene contemplation, distinct from the monumental grandeur seen in other Renaissance works like the Cathedral of Jaén or Úbeda's Sacra Capilla de El Salvador. Through formal analysis, the research demonstrates Vandelvira's adaptability to functional and symbolic contexts, offering a timeless model for sacred space design that prioritizes introspection over spectacle.
