    The Monasterio de La Cartuja, also known as the Real Monasterio de Nuestra Señora de la Asunción de la Cartuja, is a beautiful monastery in Granada. It was founded in 1516 by the Carthusian monks of the Monastery of Santa María de El Paular.
    The monastery is a masterpiece of Spanish Baroque architecture and is known for its richly decorated interiors, including the impressive dome of the sagrario, painted by Antonio Palomino. Other highlights include the sacristy, the church and the small cloister.
    The monastery is also home to an important collection of paintings, including works by the Carthusian monk Juan Sánchez Cotán. It is a peaceful place that is well worth a visit for anyone interested in art, history and architecture.
