A testimony of the Renaissance period~ Granada Royal Chapel

The Granada Royal Chapel is located in the center of the old town of Granada, built between 1505 and 1517. The Catholic monarch hoped to be buried in Granada after his death, hence the chapel was born. Therefore, the chapel can also be said to be the tomb of the Catholic ruler. The entire building is in Gothic style, with a Latin cross layout with a rear hall and choir position, ribbed vaults and decorations protruding from the upper part of the wall. The most prominent feature inside the chapel is the Renaissance furnace grid located in the ear hall, the Catholic monarch, the cemetery, and the Holy Cross altar. Here lie Queen Isabella I of Castile, King Ferdinand II of Aragon, their daughter Queen Joanna of Castile and Leon, her husband King Philip I of Castile, and their grandson Prince Miguel of Asturias. The sacristy has a small but impressive museum. It houses Fernando's sword and Isabella's scepter, silver crown and portraits, tapestries, Baroque sculptures and paintings, mainly works by 15th-century Flemish, Italian and Spanish painters, including Rogier van der Weyden, Dieric Bouts, Botticelli, Perugino and Bartolome Bermejo.
