Granada Cathedral   R6 Mrk2   RF24-105@25mm   f4   ISO-125   SS 1/4s   HandheldGranada Cathedral R6 Mrk2 RF24-105@25mm f4 ISO-125 SS 1/4s Handheld

The Cathedral of Granada has two organs, both by Leonardo Fernandez Davila.  The one on the Epistle side was finished in 1744 and the one on the Gospel side in 1749.  As of this date and time the organs are undergoing cleaning and restoration.  On the picture you can see that the one the left side is gleaming as it has been cleaned and restored, while the one on the right side has not.  These splendid instruments have different musical characteristics, and since the middle of the 18th century, they have been located in tribunes formed by ornamental walls.  The instrument is in the Baroque style.  

 

Cheers,
