Monasterio de San Jerónimo
Following the Reconquest of Granada by Ferdinand and Isabella, this was the first monastery to be founded. Dating from the 16th century, the restored monastery-church is one of the grandest buildings designed by Diego de Siloé. Its public cloister represents a magnificent use of space, with double tiers of arcaded ambulatories enveloping an orange grove. The monastery was severely damaged by Napoleon's troops.
