Religious Granada

The Royal Chapel holds the tombs of the Catholic Monarchs, built on ground that was Nasrid Granada only a few years before.

This page collects Granada's religious architecture and calendar in one place: the Royal Chapel, convents and monasteries raised after the 1492 conquest, and the Holy Week and Corpus Christi processions still held today. It does not smooth over the history: these buildings were built, deliberately, on top of Nasrid Granada, and the convent sweets sold nearby are one of the few traditions to survive both eras.
