The work examines Spain's architectural heritage, focusing specifically on its cathedrals and churches that reflect the nation's diverse cultural influences. Collins delves into the significance of these buildings, elaborating on their historical contexts, architectural styles, and the vital role religion played in unifying the various regions of Spain. The opening portion of this work begins with a preface that outlines the rich and complex history of Spain, emphasizing the impact of various civilizations on its architecture, particularly in its cathedrals. Collins introduces the theme of contrasts within Spanish society and highlights the profound influence of religion, as depicted in its ecclesiastical structures.
