Enrique Egas's ornate Gothic masterpiece adjoining the cathedral showcases Spain's Christian Renaissance splendor. Its intricate Isabeline style and architectural unity make it an essential counterpoint to Granada's Moorish heritage.
“The architect Enrique Egas began work on the Royal Chapel in 1506 and completed it 15 years later, creating a masterpiece of the ornate Gothic style now known in Spain as Isabelline.”
