This late Gothic chapel adjoining Granada Cathedral is the final resting place of the Catholic Monarchs, Ferdinand and Isabella, along with their daughter Juana and her husband Felipe. Built by Enrique Egas between 1505 and 1517, it blends Gothic and early Renaissance elements in a way that mirrors the cathedral next door.
The marble tombs are striking, but the real draw is the crypt below, where you stand within arm's reach of the simple lead coffins. For three euros, you get an unexpectedly intimate encounter with the rulers who united Spain, completed the Reconquista, and sent Columbus west.
The sacristy holds a small but fine collection of Flemish paintings, including several panels by Hans Memling and Rogier van der Weyden — a surprise in southern Spain and worth lingering over.
