The Renaissance cathedral is in the centre. Adjacent to it is the Capilla Real, which was completed in 1521 and contains the tombs of the Catholic Monarchs. Isabella and Ferdinand were transferred in 1521, and Joanna the Mad and Philip the Fair are also buried there.
Cathedral of Granada
Around the cathedral there are also recognizable traces of Moorish Granada in the cityscape today, such as the former caravanserai Corral de Carbón, which now houses the tourist information office, the former Koran school or Madraza de Granada (entrance directly opposite the Capilla Real) and the Alcaicería, the old silk market. Directly opposite the cathedral is the Centro José Guerrero, which has an extensive collection by the artist who gave it its name and hosts changing exhibitions of modern art.
The neoclassical Palacio de las Columnas from the 18th century now houses the Faculty of Translation and Interpreting at the city's university. Nearby is the Colegio de San Pablo, which dates back to the 16th century. This building was used by the Jesuits to train missionaries for the Moorish population. After the Jesuit order was dissolved in Spain in 1767, the Faculty of Law moved in and is still based in the building today. The Jardín Botánico is attached to the building. A little further away is the Monastery of Saint Jerome. This monastery, built in the Isabelline style, is the first monastery to be built after the city was handed over to the Catholic Monarchs. It serves as the burial place of the Great Captain.
