Guadix is a tourist destination and due to its monuments, its proximity to the capital of the province of Granada, as well as to the historical area known as La Alpujarra. Among its historical buildings, the Cathedral of the Incarnation (Catedral de
la Encarnación) - one of the most important in the country, declared a site of cultural interest in 1931, next to the Alcazaba de Guadix, which was declared a national artistic monument in the same year. In turn, the cathedral has three architectural styles
