Imposing façade

De fachada imponente

El Palacio de la Madraza es un edificio con muchos secretos, esconde su pasado moro en sus inicios funcionaba como universidad islámica y en la que se hacía el estudio riguroso del Corán. Data del año 1349, luego de la conquista de los Reyes Católicos este edificio se destinó y se remodeló como Ayuntamiento de Granada hasta el año 1851. Una de las curiosidades es que al tapar con yeso el rastro islámico se descubrió que esto hizo que se preservara y puedes ver lo que era la sala del oratorio musulmán con sus colores perfectos. Ahora este edificio pertenece a la Universidad de Granada, puedes disfrutar de una visita guiada muy amena en varios idiomas.

The wisdom in times of Nazares.

La sabiduría en tiempos de los nazaríes.

El edificio del palacio se organizó a partir de una alberca central y la arquitectura árabe interior es espléndida. Como su nombre indica, se dedicaba a la enseñanza del Corán en los tiempos en los que los musulmanes dominaban la plaza de Sevilla.

This palace is one of the great...

Este palacio es una de las grandes...

Este palacio es una de las grandes construcciones que hay en la Calle Oficios. Fue Universidad coránica y sede del Ayuntamiento de la ciudad. Su exterior es del más puro estilo barroco. Hay un grave error: que la foto que aparece en la página principal "15 Rincones imprescibdibles para un fin de semana en Granada" corresponde a la fachada de la LONJA DE MERCADERES. Por favor, cambiadla.
This palace is one of the great buildings that are in the Calle Oficios. It was Cornish University and town hall in the city. Its exterior is the most pure Baroque style. There is a serious error: the photo that appears on the main page "15 imprescibdibles Corners for a weekend in Granada" is the facade of the Market Exchange. Please cambiadla.

Fantastic discovery

Fantástico descubrimiento

Lo descubrimos por casualidad y nos encantó. Te ayuda a imaginar como seria la Alhambra, sus paredes, su colorido. Una preciosidad y una suerte que se haya conservado hasta nuestros días.
