Overview

Granada was a city renowned not only for the Alhambra, but also as a major western hub in the Mediterranean silk and luxury trade networks. Also, during Muslim times it remained intimately connected to Northern Africa. After January 2, 1492 Granada became Christian and Columbus visited the Catholic Monarchs in nearby Santa Fe in April 17, 1492. The centre of Granada and its monuments, which we will visit remain important witnesses of those momentous times.
