Landmarks1
- 1Estadio Nuevo Los CármenesReal Madrid played the opener here in 1995, and a young Raúl scored in the first official match — this 21,600-seat bowl has been Granada CF's home ever since.
Historic Sites6
- 2AlhambraThe only well-preserved medieval Islamic palace in the world — two civilizations built on the same hilltop and left the seam showing.
- 3GeneralifeThe Nasrid sultans came here to escape their own palace — a hilltop estate where royal retreat met working farmland.
- 4University of GranadaFounded by papal bull in 1531, this 60,000-student university still holds classes in buildings Charles V built before the ink was dry.
- 5Granada CathedralBuilt on the city's main mosque in 1518, this cathedral broke two architectural rules at once — and took 181 years to finish.
- 6Royal Chapel of GranadaThe monarchs who ended Moorish rule in Spain in 1492 then chose Granada as their own burial ground — and ordered this chapel built to seal the claim.
- 7Palace of Charles VA Michelangelo-trained architect planted a Roman Renaissance palace in the heart of an Islamic citadel — then it sat roofless for 330 years.
