Abstract

One of the elements most frequently overlooked in studies on Granada cathedral is the tabernacle of the Main Chapel. The work designed by Diego de Siloe in 1561 represented an innovation within the ornate context of the presbytery. This ciborium formed a conclusive part of an iconographic and theological program full of symbolism. In the course of time it was replaced by others: after Siloe’s work we hear of another in 1648 in the form of «Ezequiel’s chariot», a further provisional one was done in 1804 before we finally come to the present tabernacle, created by Navas Parejo between 1924 and 1929.
