Why Go
The monarchs chose Granada for their tomb, and the chapel was built for them in 1505–1517. Their marble effigies lie behind a gilded iron screen, with their lead coffins in the crypt below.
The sacristy shows Isabella's crown and scepter, Ferdinand's sword and the queen's collection of Flemish paintings.
