Granada Charterhouse
Granada Charterhouse, Carthusian monastery in Granada, Spain
The Granada Charterhouse displays Spanish Baroque architecture with geometric surfaces throughout its structure, including a central cloister with orange trees and a fountain.
Construction of the monastery began in 1516 after monks from Santa María de El Paular relocated, with building work continuing across three centuries until completion.
The refectory contains paintings by Fray Juan Sánchez Cotán depicting daily monastic life, while the sacristy exhibits detailed plasterwork and wooden carvings.
The monastery opens daily from 10:00 to 18:00, with Saturday afternoon closure, and visitors can access it via bus lines 8, U1, or U3.
The sacristy ceiling, painted by Tomás Ferrer in 1735, incorporates religious figures and demonstrates the final phase of Spanish Baroque architectural design.

Grenada is a city experienced like a poem. At the foot of the Sierra Nevada, it combines Muslim heritage, Catholic fervor, and Andalusian rhythm. Behind ochre facades lie shaded patios, fountains, mosaics, and carved arches that tell eight centuries of history. The Alhambra watches over the city like a stone dream, the Albaicín district unfolds its white alleys, and the gardens of Generalife recall the delicacy of Nasrid rulers. At every turn, a bell tower follows a minaret, an Arab market opens onto a baroque cathedral. Granada is as much an open-air museum as a living place, where flamenco still escapes from the Sacromonte caves. Between spirituality, art, and jasmine fragrance, the Andalusian city retains an elusive, almost mystical beauty.
