Exploring Granada is like opening a book full of surprises: pages of history, art, and spirituality waiting to be discovered. But what if we told you there are places you haven’t seen yet—even those nestled in the heart of the city? Keep reading to discover six corners of Granada you must visit at least once in your life.
Right in the city center, next to the bustling Cathedral, lies the Royal Chapel—a serene, solemn space. This is where the Catholic Monarchs, Isabella and Ferdinand, are laid to rest. More than a tomb, it’s a time capsule filled with history and spiritual legacy.
Besides the mausoleum, the chapel houses Gothic altarpieces and an extraordinary collection of goldsmithing. Walking through its halls is like stepping into a chapter of Spain’s foundational story.
Among the most charming places in Granada, Sacromonte Abbey stands out for its setting, legends, and sweeping views of the Alhambra. Its Holy Caves and the mysterious lead books tell tales of early Christian martyrs and the roots of faith in Granada.
Visiting Sacromonte is like stepping into a mythical narrative where history and legend blur. The landscape, the silence, and the sacredness of the site leave a lasting impression.
If you’re searching for lesser-known corners of Granada, the Carthusian Monastery (Monasterio de la Cartuja) is an unexpected treasure. Located away from the tourist routes, it’s one of Spain’s finest examples of Baroque art.
The sacristy alone is enough to amaze any art lover—ornate, elaborate, and spiritually resonant. Each corridor tells the story of the silent life of the Carthusian monks, blending austerity with an explosion of visual devotion.
