Royal Chapel of Granada
Capilla Real de Granada
The final resting place of the Catholic Monarchs, Isabella and Ferdinand, this Gothic chapel houses their marble tombs and royal treasures.
The Royal Chapel was built between 1505 and 1517 as the mausoleum the Catholic Monarchs commissioned for themselves. They captured Granada in 1492, the same year they funded Columbus's voyage. Marble tombs are carved with effigies of the royal couple, and the crypt below holds lead coffins. The sacristy displays Queen Isabella's crown and scepter, along with the Flemish paintings she collected. Tickets cost about 5–7 euros. Photography is not allowed inside. The entrance is on Oficios Street, next to the cathedral.
