Private guided tour of the Cartuja Monastery in Granada. Without ticket

The Royal Monastery of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción de la Cartuja, Granada The Carthusian order, founded in the 11th century, follows one of the strictest monastic regulations, in terms of the way of life of the monks who seek spirituality, far from the material and mundane. The Monastery of Granada began to be built in the 16th century.

The contrast between the sober common rooms and the decorative exuberance of the Church, the Tabernacle and the Sacristy, where the eye finds no space to rest, is striking. It is considered a masterpiece of the Spanish Baroque. The Monastery keeps in its interior sculptures and paintings of great artists like Sánchez Cotán, José de Mora, Pedro Atanasio Bocanegra, Antonio Palomino and José Risueño, who knew how to transmit the emotion of the religious mystery.
