Royal Chapel of Granada
What the experts agree on
The final resting place of Ferdinand and Isabella, this Renaissance masterpiece dazzles with an ornate altar, artwork by Cano and El Greco, plus a museum of royal treasures and hymnals.
“Old hymnals are displayed throughout, and there's a museum, which includes a 14th-century gold-and-silver monstrance (used for communion) given to the city by Queen Isabella.”
