Annexed to the Cathedral, it houses the marble tombs of Isabella the Catholic and Ferdinand the Catholic, as well as those of Joan the Mad and Philip the Beautiful, becoming the most important royal pantheon in Spain. During the visit you can admire the crypt where the royal remains rest, the impressive main altarpiece of Felipe Vigarny, the sacristy-museum that preserves the crown, the scepter and the personal missal of Isabella the Catholic, as well as a valuable collection of Flemish and Italian paintings that includes works by Botticelli, Van der Weyden and Memling.

Barrio Del Albaicin
Granada’s Albaicín is an extraordinary historic Andalusian neighborhood declared a World Heritage Site, built on the hill in front of the Alhambra and which preserves intact the Nasrid urban structure. Labyrinth of cobbled alleys, whitewashed houses with interior courtyards and bunkhouses with secret gardens, the Albaicín offers the most authentic essence of Muslim Granada. During the visit you can admire the famous Mirador de San Nicolás with its incomparable views of the Alhambra, the Church of San Salvador built on an ancient mosque, remains of Nasrid walls and the traditional chambers with orange gardens descending towards the Darro. The Albaicín offers a unique tour of Al-Andalus, witnessing the Muslim legacy that survives in every corner of its steep streets full of history and magic.
