grandeza

greatness

noun gran-DEH-sah Rare

Also means

grandeur

Usage Note

Grandeza conveys greatness, magnificence, or grandeur — of a person, a nation, a building, or an era. It is also a formal title referring to the highest rank of Spanish nobility (Grande de España), so su grandeza can be an honorific. The adjective grande loses its final -e before a singular noun of either gender: un gran hombre, una gran mujer.

Examples

"Admiran la grandeza de la catedral."

Natural Translation

They admire the grandeur of the cathedral.
