Granada Cathedral and Royal Chapel — Private Tour

On this tour you’ll step inside the Cathedral, a masterpiece of Spanish Renaissance architecture, and the Royal Chapel, where Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand – the Catholic Monarchs – are buried. With your entrance tickets included and everything arranged in advance, you can simply enjoy the visit instead of worrying about lines, schedules or what to see next.

As you walk through chapels, naves and altarpieces, your guide will help you understand how Granada changed after the conquest in 1492, and how art, politics and religion all meet in these spaces. You’ll see impressive paintings, sculptures and royal tombs up close, but also hear human stories about the people who commissioned, built and used these buildings. It’s a perfect complement to an Alhambra visit, giving you a fuller picture of Granada’s past and present.

The most important monuments of the city of Granada, after the Alhambra, will show you its greatest splendour in two authentic architectural and cultural jewels. It’s also very special to have the chance to visit to a place of significant historic importance, where the remains of the Catholic Monarchs and Queen Joanna “the Crazy” and her husband Philip “the Handsome” rest.

When on this guided tour, you’ll find yourself beneath the imposing façade of Granada Cathedral, a colossal Renaissance structure, you’ll lose all sense of time. You’ll be taken back centuries and our professional guides will go through its history through to the present day. Once inside, you’ll understand the keys to its symbols and its location while marvelling at the artistic elements found in even the smallest details.
