Royal Chapel of Granada

Adjoining the cathedral in the old center, this early sixteenth-century chapel was built as the burial place of the Catholic Monarchs who completed the reconquest of the peninsula. Its late Gothic interior contains their elaborately carved marble tombs alongside those of their heirs, set behind an ornate gilded screen. A sacristy museum displays the queen's crown, scepter, and a collection of Flemish paintings she assembled. The chapel stands as one of the most significant royal monuments of the era in Spain.
