Palacio de los Córdova, Renaissance archive in Albaicín, Spain.
The Palacio de los Córdova is an archive building in the Albaicín featuring a mix of architectural styles in its structure. The rooms display a Gothic-arched entrance hall, Renaissance-styled doorways, and carved wooden coffered ceilings that represent Mudejar craftsmanship.
The building was constructed between 1530 and 1592 and first stood at Placeta de las Descalzas. During the 1960s, it was relocated to Cuesta del Chapiz to preserve it for future generations.
The palace sits in the Albaicín neighborhood, named after a prominent local family with deep roots in Granada. The rooms display handcrafted details and spatial arrangements that reflect how wealthy families organized their daily life during the Renaissance.
The building is free to enter and open from Monday through Friday, with extended hours during the warmer months. Plan your visit outside the midday heat for a more comfortable experience exploring the interior spaces.
The gardens contain traditional plant species and working vegetable patches that show how the region grew food in earlier times. These functional gardens offer a direct window into how people managed their daily needs long ago.
