Tips

It is best to visit the Royal Chapel and the Cathedral as if they were a single place, so that you can better understand Granada, which was created after the Reconquest, through the stylistic evolution of both buildings.
They do not close at midday, and perhaps it is a good time to visit, as there are usually fewer visitors at that time. Another important thing: the Cathedral closes on Sunday mornings for sightseeing, it is open but only for worship.

Around the cathedral of Granada the Royal Chapel blends into the complex of three different churches/chapels. Built from 1505-1517 it is the burial site of Queen Isabella I and King Ferdinand.

The Royal Chapel of Granada, built between 1505 and 1517 in the late Gothic style, is the burial place of the Catholic Monarchs Isabel I and Fernando II, their daughter Juana la Loca, and Felipe the Handsome. It is located next to the cathedral and contains magnificent funerary monuments, a richly decorated altar, and a crypt containing the simple coffins of the monarchs. A must-see for its historical and symbolic significance after the conquest of Granada in 1492.
