Granada - Cathedral


The Granada-Cathedral seen from the Alhambra.
As Granada was part of the Nasrid Kingdom upto 1492, when it was conquered at the end of the Reconquista, the erection of the cathedral started rather late - in 1523. At that time the "Capella Real", adjoining the cathedral today, was already completed. The cathedral took 181 years to build.
The "Capella Royal" is the burial place of the so called "Catholic Monarchs" Isabella I of Castile, Queen of Castile, and her husband Ferdinand II of Aragon, King of Aragon. Here is as well the tomb of their daughter Joanna of Castile, better known as "Joanna the Mad" ("Juana la Loca").
