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.
