If you love medieval history and fairytale icons, that is your place! Its intricate design and detailed craftsmanship are a sight to behold. The blend of Gothic and Renaissance styles creates an atmosphere that transports you back in time, making you feel part of Spain's illustrious past. The children's audioguide made my 8 years-old boy was both educational and entertaining, capturing my son's attention throughout our visit!

I think, as Americans, we are fascinated when we see things that we learned about in school about the formation of our country, and we all learned about King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella. The Royal Chapel has a separate entrance from the Cathedral, so you can choose to visit either or both, but we only went to the Chapel. There is an audio guide, and the highlight is the tombs of the King and Queen, which are accessed by stairs in the main area. You can't take photos in the Chapel.

This took a while to find and we had to ask at the cathedral in the end (left and left again as you go out of the cathedral entrance!) . The chapel contains the burial crypt of Ferdinand and Isabella plus Philip II and Joanna the Mad. No photos were allowed which was a real shame as there was some genuinely decent post Islamic marble carvings on the tombs. All info was audio guide only, as seems usual in Granada (and I completely understand why but it is still frustrating). The chapel was worth a 10 minute visit.
