Discover the charm of Carmen de los Mártires in Granada: a historic oasis with lush gardens and panoramic views, a must-visit during your trip to the city.

In the heart of Granada, nestled among narrow streets and lively squares, lies the Corral del Carbón, a Nasrid treasure in the city’s center. Located near the iconic Reyes Católicos street and just steps away from Granada’s Cathedral and Royal Chapel, this monument is an oasis of history and tranquility amidst the urban bustle.

It is one of the oldest and best-preserved Arab baths in the Iberian Peninsula. Built in the 11th century during the reign of the Taifa king Badis, this hammam was part of the Axares quarter and played a key role in the social and religious life of Andalusi Granada.

With a structure inspired by ancient Roman baths, it stands out for its vaulted ceilings with star-shaped skylights and the architectural richness of its columns. Despite its abandonment and deterioration after the Christian conquest, it was restored in the 20th century, allowing it to be opened to the public.

The Cathedral of Granada is one of the most impressive and distinctive monuments of the Spanish Renaissance. Located in the heart of the city, this magnificent temple captivates visitors with its blend of Gothic and Renaissance styles, reflecting the era's transformation and the ambition of its builders.

Initially conceived in the Gothic style, its design evolved toward Renaissance under the guidance of prominent architects of the time, such as Diego de Siloé. Upon entering, visitors are enveloped by the brightness of its spaces and the majesty of its architectural details, making the Cathedral a place of inspiration and reflection—an ideal setting to immerse oneself in the history and art of Granada.

The Royal Chapel of Granada is a place steeped in history, located right in the heart of the city. Here lie the tombs of the Catholic Monarchs, Isabella and Ferdinand, along with some of their descendants.

This space, with its Gothic architecture, was conceived as a family resting place and combines elegant simplicity with a serene atmosphere that invites visitors to discover the legacy of a pivotal era for Spain. Inside, visitors can admire sacred art pieces, including fine goldsmithing and Flemish paintings.
