Visit the Royal Chapel of Granada
Beste tid å besøke
Best to come right after opening at 10:00, before organized groups arrive. Afternoons from Tuesday to Thursday are the quietest of the week.
Budsjettips
A standard ticket costs about 5 euros, and a combined ticket with the nearby cathedral works out cheaper than separate entries. Admission is free on certain days of the year, so it is worth checking the calendar on the official website before planning your visit.
Anbefalt for
History and monarchy enthusiasts, Tourists interested in Renaissance art, Travelers looking for atmospheric sacred interiors, Couples on a romantic weekend

Om
Raske fakta: To katolske monarker, Isabella og Ferdinand, er gravlagt her i en enkel blykiste som står i skarp kontrast til det praktfulle marmormausoleet over. Deres datter Joanna den Gale og hennes ektemann Filip den Smukke er også begravet her, med graver som har intrikate alabastutskjæringer av liggende figurer.
Høydepunkter: Gå inn og se opp: den fantastiske platereske jernporten rundt de kongelige gravene ble smidd av 3000 kilo sølv brakt tilbake fra Amerika. Det kongelige krypten nedenfor ligger i nesten totalt mørke, hvor du kan se Isabellas enkle kiste gjennom et glasspanel, et ydmykt siste hvilested for dronningen som finansierte Columbus.
Insidertips
- Go down the stairs to the crypt, because that is where the royal sarcophagi are located, and most tourists only stop upstairs.
- Bring a 1 euro coin for the lighting in the sacristy display cases, otherwise the details of the golden reliquaries will remain in semi-darkness.
- Photography of the interior is allowed without flash, but the crypt is too dark for good photos, so focus on the altar and the Renaissance grilles.
- Combine the visit with a walk through Albaicín and the cathedral, since all three places are within a five-minute walk of each other.
