Traveler reviews
Baptiste Piguet
★★★★★4 months agoDefinitely recommend visiting it if you have time in Granada. It's magnificent, especially the church inside which for me is even better than Granada's cathedral.

★★★★★a year agoMust to go! You can feel the history and great culture and arts from medieval time. The church looks amazing and gorgeous. Interesting to see that these monasteries in Granada have orange trees (also in Cathedral). I don’t know the reason why and I don’t think that audio guidance explained it. For the audio guide I recommend to bring ear phones so you respect the place.
