The transformation of a city "From Islam to Christianity"

A journey from Islam to Christianity learning about details, curiosities and the transformations borne by the city of Granada.

We walk through the historical city centre, nearby the Cathedral ensemble. This is the area of Granada with the most notable urban planning transformation after the Spanish Reconquest, with buildings such as the Cathedral, Royal Chapel, the Alcaicería (Silk Market), Madraza (Koran School) and the High Court. Besides, we have chosen the low skirt of the Albaicín to represent the Moslem Granada before the end of the Spanish Reconquest, together with the evoking Carrera del Darro (the Darro Course). This area is part of the World Heritage since 1994.
