Museo Casa de Los Tiros de Granada is a 16th century palace, as it was built to reflect the architecture of those times. Its original name came from the cannons that appear between its battlements. It was actually part of the wall of the local neighbourhood, and that is the reason it looks like a military fortress. Over time things changed. Now it's a museum exhibiting local history. It has arts and crafts and the like. Worth a visit if you happen to be nearby, but not necessarily a must see.…

This was one of the first grand houses built after the Reconquista of Granada. Only the tower remains of the 16th century palace. The carved wooden ceiling is well worth the visit.

I got some interesting history and a good tip on where to visit some interesting local history nearby.…

A 16thC palace with a fortress-like appearance from the street. A short distance off the usual tourist track, but worth the effort if you appreciate seeing such historic residences and seek a little peace. It is also a museum with an eclectic mix of exhibits showing something of Granada’s more recent history.…
