Royal Chancellery, a 16th century Renaissance palace
The Church of San Pedro & San Pablo hails from
the Renaissance period while en route to the Plaza Nueva are the
Arab baths dating from the 11th century. Behind the ruins of El
Cadi Bridge stands the Mudéjar Church of Santa Ana with a
Platereque portico and tower of glazed tiles which was inspired
by Arab minarets.
The Plaza Nueva is crowned by the Royal Chancellery,
a 16th century Renaissance palace, the main façade with Baroque
traces. The courtyard by Siloé and the coffered staircase
are particularly interesting Adjacent to the El Albaicin is El Sacramonte,
popular with tourists for their gypsy caves which are adorned with
hand-made copper and ceramic articles typical of Granada and the
venue of live, if not spontaneous, flamenco.
