Explore the multicultural heritage of Granada

The historic city center of Granada boasts two emblematic churches replete of treasures of art: the mighty Renaissance Cathedral and the Royal Chapel, pantheon of the Catholic Monarchs. They have been erected after the conquest of the last stronghold of the Muslim Spain in 1492 by the armies of Isabella and Ferdinand. But, going deeper, do you want to know why do they constitute the most significant monuments of the Christian Granada? Do you imagine why? They appear as the unequivocal symbol of the triumph of Christianity in the heart of Granada, just next to some other monuments dating back to the medieval Islamic city, like the Madrasa (university), the Alcaicería (once the silk market) and a Moorish caravanserai from the 14th century.
