    Highlights: This Christian cathedral in the center of Granada was built in 1523 on the site of an Islamic mosque. After 180 years of construction, this church has become a landmark of Granada that incorporates Gothic and Renaissance architectural styles. Although it is not so magnificent, it is the main witness to the vicissitudes of Granada's history. . If you look closely, every brick and tile in the church reveals the architectural imprint of different periods. The central chapel of the cathedral has a majestic 45-meter-high dome. Even if the architectural style is difficult to define, the stained glass windows around the dome are a must.

    "The Naserius Palace in the Alhambra is mainly composed of four atriums (yards) and surrounding buildings; the lion atrium, with its simple Lion Fountain and exquisite arched corridor, becomes the highlight of the Alhambra Palace. The Lion atrium, built in the 14th century, covers an area of more than 710 square meters, is the main component of the King Sultan's residence. 12 stone lions are the fountains on the base and stand in the center of the courtyard (the lion atrium is named after it); surrounded by 124 palm-tree marble columns surrounded by rectangular arched corridors; The water of the fountain flows through the four channels that intersect across the ridge, and the ding ding ding flows to the corridor... Walking the corridor, the cute lions are in a state of snorting, the various stone carvings are exquisite and complicated, the structure is elegant and elegant... Easy to move, the scenery is charming."

    "San Nicolas Square (Plaza de San Nicolas) is a lively place any time of day, with craftsmen, flamenco dancers, and street musicians setting up along the paving stones to entertain visitors. At dusk, crowds of locals and tourists turn out to watch the sunset over the palace grounds before adjourning to restaurants and tea shops on nearby Elvira Street. "

    "It takes almost hours to look closely at each sculpture that embellishes the monastery. For centuries people have realized that these presences fill your life with hope. The picture cannot fully explain the area as every centimetre of the church is covered by a painting or sculpture, and just a cursory look is not enough. Four euros, be sure to see! Walk around outside the church, other places outside the church are developed, with various treasures inside."

    Highlights: This exquisite and ornate building in the center of Granada is a Catholic monastery inaugurated in 1504, some 600 years ago. The monastery was moved here from the monastery of the two Catholic popes on the outskirts of Granada. It mixes Gothic and Renaissance architectural styles. The altar of the central chapel depicting the Assumption of the Virgin uses a lot of exquisite relief technology, which is luxurious. The end of Islam was the cause of the common struggle of two Catholic popes, and the coffin of Marshal Córdoba, who played a major role in the battle for the dominion of Granada, is also housed here. In the hinterland of the monastery, there are two graceful and luxurious courtyards, which are enough to make the tourists who pass through them revel in the elegant atmosphere of the monastery.

    "#Catholic tombs of the tombs of the two kings #Royal Chapel before Spain was unified, Isabella I was Queen of Castile and Ferdinand II was King of Aragon. The two later tied the knot, and their marriage was extremely successful both politically and militarily. In the following decades, under the two men, the Moors were expelled from Spain, intervened in the Italian war, and funded the Columbus expedition, which later generations called "the Spanish Catholic Twin Kings." It can be said that Spain became a global power after the 15th century, and the Catholic two kings were a great power."

    Highlights: The Royal Chapel is an exquisite building completed before the Cathedral of Granada in the first half of the 16th century. Now it and the Cathedral of Granada form a more popular cultural scenic spot in the city center. According to Queen Isabel's last words, the chapel houses the coffins of two Catholic popes. The most worth seeing place is the golden iron fence bedroom (Mausoleo) in the center of the chapel. The two pairs of marble pedestal-shaped tombstones standing side by side are clearly visible. The family crest, saints, angels and lions are carved and decorated, which is magnificent. In the underground coffin room, there is also an eye-catching small coffin, nestled beside the four simple coffins, which is the coffin of Prince Miguel, the grandson of Isabel who died at an early age.

    "The Alhambra scenic area is divided into four large blocks, one of which is the Nilo Rifi Garden, commonly known as the "summer palace". It was built in the 13th century and was renovated by King Abu I Walid Ismail. It is designed to trim various geometric patterns of flowers and trees, layered around two courtyards, between the courtyards by canals. The canal is in Arabic rectangular shape, with a row of water spouts on each side. When the floodgates are opened, the water columns form an arch. The water beads are shining in the sun and are laid out in a cool place. This can understand why successive kings liked to spend the summer here."

    Highlights: Generalife is the summer residence of King Nassar, and it only takes 10 minutes to walk to the Alhambra. Generalife means "paradise that sees everything" and was built in the 14th century. The gardens surround the Summer Palace in layers, with scattered heights and fountains and pools interspersed with them. Even if you come here in the hot summer, the summer will be exhausted. The Summer Palace is just a small building consisting of two towers, small and chic. Climbing up the tower, you can see the white houses in the Albayzin district.

    "There are several famous Arab bathrooms in Granada, where the traditional Arab bathing method is very good and the price is slightly more expensive. Ordinary baths are about 13 euros, and if you want to add projects, you need to pay extra. However, it is very comfortable to wash once and it is worth experiencing."
