Granada's Christian past is relatively recent, but it is deeply rooted in the city. With the arrival of the Catholic Monarchs in 1492, the urban fabric was modified in order to carry out important convent constructions, and from the 16th century onwards, two large monasteries with two totally different styles were built outside the city. Although on the outside both are totally sober, almost defensive bastions, inside they keep secrets that we encourage you to get to know from us. In the Monastery of San Jerónimo, currently in the centre of the city, you will discover a space that still houses a community of nuns today, whose church houses the burial place of the Great Captain, Gonzalo Fernández de Córdoba and, above it, the first Renaissance altarpiece of such great magnitude built in the whole of Spain.
As for the Monastery of La Cartuja, its interiors play between the simplicity and whiteness of the monks' quarters and the grandeur of its church, which has come to be known as the "Daughter of the Alhambra".
