9 Art Museums in Province of Granada That You Shouldn't Miss
There’s an Arabic inscription that captures the essence of Granada in a few words: “There is nothing so sad as to be blind in Granada.” The perspicacity of this declaration becomes obvious as soon as you penetrate the austere walls of the Alhambra and take in the full majesty of the architecture, carvings and fountains of the Nasrid palaces. Your ticket (which should be bought well in advance following the instructions on the attraction’s website) also affords entry to the Renaissance Palace of Carlos V and to the exquisite gardens of the Generalife. If you are celebrating a special event, or are in the market for a splurge, you can stay in the lovely Parador, right on site. Make your way down into the city via the atmospheric old quarter of the Albaicin, with its tiny craft shops and restaurants, and head for the Cathedral and Royal Chapel. Also plan a visit to the crypt for the tombs of Ferdinand and Isabella, the instigators of Spain’s imperial adventures to the New World and beyond. It’s worth making the short journey out of town to visit the Monasterio Cartuja, a fabulous Carthusian monastery in the baroque style. Admirers of the poet Lorca should make the effort to visit the Casa-Museo Federico Garcia Lorca in Fuente Vaqueros, about 11 miles from the city centre.

Never been to a convent before and was really glad we decided to visit. The Nuns are lovely people, they really want you to enjoy the tour. Only speak spanish but no problem to understand the most, if you remember your Historylessons from school. Wonderful to see how proud they are of their beautiful convent.

The unfinished Palacio de Carlos V provides an excellent setting for Granada’s display of fine art with an emphasis on Granada’s connection to it. There are pieces from the 17thC up to the 20thC. The recently refurbished museum provides a peaceful and climate-controlled environment compared to the throng and heat of the remainder of the Alhambra.
8. Pabellon Al-Andalus y la Ciencia
Overall Ratings
2.5 based on 3 reviews
Casi ocho siglos de permanencia de los musulmanes en la Península Ibérica han conformado una herencia, la andalusí, que forma parte de las señas de identidad de la cultura española y mediterránea. La Fundación El legado andalusí pretende recuperar, difundir y poner en valor esa herencia de al-Andalus y recuperar aquella impronta de progreso y tolerancia, de creatividad e ingenio, que tanto contribuyó al renacer de Europa y a enriquecer su identidad actual.
9. Museo Anita Avila
