4.4/559 ReviewsGranada108m from downtownReligious Sites
"#Catholic tombs of the tombs of the two kings #Royal Chapel before Spain was unified, Isabella I was Queen of Castile and Ferdinand II was King of Aragon. The two later tied the knot, and their marriage was extremely successful both politically and militarily. In the following decades, under the two men, the Moors were expelled from Spain, intervened in the Italian war, and funded the Columbus expedition, which later generations called "the Spanish Catholic Twin Kings." It can be said that Spain became a global power after the 15th century, and the Catholic two kings were a great power."Highlights: The Royal Chapel is an exquisite building completed before the Cathedral of Granada in the first half of the 16th century. Now it and the Cathedral of Granada form a more popular cultural scenic spot in the city center. According to Queen Isabel's last words, the chapel houses the coffins of two Catholic popes. The most worth seeing place is the golden iron fence bedroom (Mausoleo) in the center of the chapel. The two pairs of marble pedestal-shaped tombstones standing side by side are clearly visible. The family crest, saints, angels and lions are carved and decorated, which is magnificent. In the underground coffin room, there is also an eye-catching small coffin, nestled beside the four simple coffins, which is the coffin of Prince Miguel, the grandson of Isabel who died at an early age.Show Less - No.3
Royal Monastery of St. Jerome
4.3/525 ReviewsGranada547m from downtownReligious Sites
"It takes almost hours to look closely at each sculpture that embellishes the monastery. For centuries people have realized that these presences fill your life with hope.

Walk around outside the church, other places outside the church are developed, with various treasures inside."Highlights: This exquisite and ornate building in the center of Granada is a Catholic monastery inaugurated in 1504, some 600 years ago. The monastery was moved here from the monastery of the two Catholic popes on the outskirts of Granada. It mixes Gothic and Renaissance architectural styles. The altar of the central chapel depicting the Assumption of the Virgin uses a lot of exquisite relief technology, which is luxurious. The end of Islam was the cause of the common struggle of two Catholic popes, and the coffin of Marshal Córdoba, who played a major role in the battle for the dominion of Granada, is also housed here. In the hinterland of the monastery, there are two graceful and luxurious courtyards, which are enough to make the tourists who pass through them revel in the elegant atmosphere of the monastery.Show Less - No.4

4.5/531 ReviewsGranada1.7km from downtownReligious Sites
"This Moorish building, located in the small southern Spanish town of Granada for more than 800 years, has undergone several generations of kings to form the current scale. Overlooking the entire city and the snowy mountains of Acazaba Fort, the geometric beauty is reflected in the ultimate Nasred Palace, the Generalife summer palace with a maze of water views, different styles, the same beauty, let me day like a dream."Highlights: About two kilometers from downtown Granada, the Cartuja Monastery broke ground in the 16th century with the donation of Marshal Córdoba, and was not completed until the early 18th century. Inside the monastery's modest façades, the churiguera-style decorations can be found everywhere. The ornate and complex decoration of the monastery is also a major feature. Under the Spanish Baroque Churigra style, the atrium structure with beautiful cloisters is reminiscent of the imagination, white plaster carvings, curved golden stone pillars and vortexes in the chapel.
