Jerez, Cathedral and Alcazar
Cádiz will be your starting point for an excursion to Jerez. Jerez owes its fame to its wines, flamenco, horses, and bull breeding. Visit to the Alcázar. This ancient fortified palace, dating back to the 9th century, bears witness to the city's Muslim heritage. It is mainly built from limestone rubble, with brick elements added over the centuries. Within its beautifully restored annexes, you will find the Christianized mosque, dedicated to Santa María la Real, the Arab Baths, the Olive Mill, and the peaceful gardens, designed according to Andalusian aesthetic principles. The Torre del Homenaje, a 30-meter watchtower, is the central point of the Alcázar and offers a panoramic view of the city and surrounding landscapes. The Alcázar played a strategic role throughout history, particularly during the Reconquista, serving as a noble residence and a military defense point. Then, you will discover the cathedral. Built between the 17th and 18th centuries, this masterpiece illustrates the transition between Gothic, Baroque, and Neoclassical styles. Its façade, made of cut stone, is adorned with sculptures and refined architectural details, including statues of saints and floral motifs. The main entrance is topped with an impressive pediment, while the bell towers, each in a different style, add a vertical dimension to the structure. The cloister, designed in an elegant Baroque style, offers a serene space with its arches and gardens. These two landmarks, the Alcázar and the cathedral, showcase the cultural and historical richness of Jerez, reflecting the evolution of architectural styles and the impact of various civilizations on the region.

A decision was made to preserve only its choir. Marc Chagall was then contacted and asked to design and create a stained glass window to close off the choir. It is the largest stained glass window ever made by the artist - 12 metres high by 7.5 metres wide. Other stained glass windows were also created by the artist to act as the side windows.
