Isabella I of Castile and Ferdinand II of Aragon asked to be buried in Granada, the city they took in 1492. The chapel was built between 1505 and 1517 in late Gothic style. The marble royal tombs stand behind a gilded iron screen. A sacristy museum holds Isabella's crown and sceptre, Ferdinand's sword and a collection of Flemish and Italian paintings. The official page suggests about 45 minutes.
