ROYAL CHAPEL: burial place of the Catholic Monarchs, Isabel and Fernando, who chose the city of Granada for it, and ordered to build the largest funerary chapel in the country.

CATHEDRAL: The first Renaissance cathedral in Spain, and the second largest cathedral in the country. Designed in the heart of Granada, should show to the world the importance of the city and the important point that was living.
