Queen Isabella the Catholic is one of the most important figures in world history, both for her role in the unification of the Iberian kingdoms, the conquest of Granada and for her support of the expeditions of Christopher Columbus which led to the European discovery of the American continent. Isabella was a queen with a great personality, who marked the destiny of Granada, a city that also left its mark on the monarch herself.

 

Explore how the queen left her personal mark on Granada. Architecturally, for example, the first town hall in the City, created by Isabella herself. Learn about the unshakable faith of the queen which encouraged her to Christianise the population of Granada. Discover the importance of the Great Captain Gonzalo Fernández de Córdova, architect of the conquest. These are just some of the curiosities you can learn about on this tour. Explore places such as the Madraza, the Royal Chapel, the Cuarto Real, the Capitanía General, the Convent of the Comendadoras de Santiago or Santo Domingo.

 

Despite her death in Medina del Campo, Isabella decided to be buried in Granada and her remains rest forever in the City she longed for so much.
