  • To unequivocally establish Christian rule, these triumphalist structures were built by some of the greatest architects of the age and adorned with important works of sculpture and painting, much of it Renaissance. The towering, light-suffused interior of Granada’s cathedral is one of the most spectacular achievements of the period, while the façade, by Alonso Cano, echoes the ancient triple arch favoured by Roman emperors. The Capilla Real (Royal Chapel) is Granada’s finest Christian building and a repository of rare treasures, including a reja (gilded grille) by Bartolomé de Jaén, priceless crown jewels, and paintings by Roger van der Weyden and Sandro Botticelli (see Capilla Real and Catedral, Granada).

Practical Information
Catedral: C/Gran Via de Colón 5; Open 10am–1pm, 4–8pm Mon–Sat, 4–8pm Sun (until 7pm Nov–Mar); Adm €3.00

I can find nothing attractive about this area. Having been to the (magnificent) Alhambra I am always ready to leave Granada!
