Plaza de las Pasiegas - Discover the rich history of this iconic square and learn about the Cathedral of Granada and the Alcaicería. Plaza de las Pasiegas is one of Granada’s most bustling spots. The main entrance to the Cathedral of Granada is located here. This cathedral is recognized as the first church in Spain built in the Renaissance style, commissioned by the Catholic Monarchs and later influenced by Emperor Charles V. Plaza Pasiegas beautifully showcases the Cathedral, an architectural gem of Granada. The square’s history dates back to the 19th century when young girls from the Cantabrian region in northern Spain came to the Pas region to nurse the babies of Granada’s Burgher families. Later, around 1807, it became a prominent flower market.

Sacromonte reflects the cultural blend in Granada and offers insights into the Gypsy community’s past in Andalusia.

Plaza Nueva - Plaza Nueva is the central meeting point for Grenadians, one of Granada’s most charming squares featuring the Mudejar-style Santa Ana church, a symbol of religious tolerance during the Andalusian era. This legendary square, with the Alonse Caño fountain and numerous tapas restaurants, highlights the importance of water, as the underground Darro river flows beneath it. It’s a lively spot where musicians often gather to perform flamenco. Located at the junction of the new town, the street of the Catholic kings, Gran Vía de Colón, and the old Moorish quarter of Albaicin, Plaza Nueva also houses the Palais de la Chancillerie, the city’s oldest courthouse, built under Charles V’s order. Its façade is the most iconic example of Pomegranate Mannerism.
