Monasterio de la Cartuja de Granada

Why go

The former Carthusian monastery rewards a deliberate progression through its spaces. A cloister and refectory lead toward the ornate church interiors, where stone, painting and carved detail become much denser. Paintings by Sánchez Cotán in the refectory add another reason to look beyond the best known rooms.

What to look for

• The sacristy and sanctuary are richly worked Baroque interiors.
• Sánchez Cotán's paintings can be seen in the refectory.
• The cloister sets a quieter tone before the church rooms.

Useful to know

• Give the interior rooms enough time to compare their different levels of decoration.
• Check the monastery timetable before making the journey, especially around holidays.
