Granada Cathedral

Highlight • Religious Site

Queen Isabella the Catholic ordered the construction of the Cathedral of Granada in 1505, shortly after the taking of the city, and chose for its location the place where the Royal Mosque of the Alhambra was located.
However, the scope of the project led to a search for a larger site and it was moved to the center of Granada, where the Great Mosque was located.
