Santa Fe

Santa Fe sits at an elevation of 570 meters in the Vega de Granada plain, surrounded by agricultural fields and water channels.

The settlement started as a military camp during the siege of Granada in 1491, becoming a permanent city after the Catholic monarchs' victory.

The San Agustín Church, built in the 16th century, displays Renaissance architecture with a mixture of Gothic and Mudéjar elements.

The municipality connects to Granada city through the A-92 highway, providing direct access to agricultural and commercial activities in the region.

Santa Fe follows a grid pattern layout, which served as a model for numerous colonial cities in the Americas during Spanish expansion.
