Through this Free Tour, you will discover the legacy of the Catholic Monarchs in the city of Granada. The Nazarí city is renowned for its cultural heritage, a blend of Christian and Muslim times. Among all of this, the impact of the Catholic Monarchs, Isabella and Ferdinand, can be clearly seen in places like the Royal Chapel (interior), the Palace of the Madraza, the Corral del Carbón, or the Catedral. Beyond the jewel of the city, the Alhambra, there is a part of Granada that must be known for the legacy left by the Catholic Monarchs.

The route of this Free Tour starts from Plaza Bib-Rambla, passing by the Catedral, the Alcaicería, or the Royal Chapel, where we will enter (ticket price not included). After that, we will get to know the Corral del Carbón, Plaza Nueva, or the Monastery of the Conception.
