Palacio de la Madraza in Granada
Description
Privilege
A lovely place. However, today I could only enter the first floor, the second floor and garden were closed
MoreWorth a short detour. Nice Moorish doorway and ceiling. Free entry
Looks great at nighttime
Not allowed to go in to see the ceilings.
very nice stop
The staff was rude and no one can speak English. The place is shut down and unavailable to visit.This place and all people working there are the shame of Granada.
MoreInteresting place but not as fabulous as the other attractions in the city.
Once the Madraza housed the Muslim School of Islamic Law, while nowadays it houses different departments of the University of Granada.The palace is located at the heart of the city, opposite the Royal Chapel and near the Cathedral (which was Granada’s main mosqueand the Alcaicería (at that time the elite’s city bazaar).During the week, free entry from 09:00 to 18:00.Right now, probably because of the COVID-19 restrictions, one can visit very little (a bit disappointing)
MoreVery small, its free. The place its pretty but you cant go near it to see the ceiling
MoreMeh... Tiny example of architecture you can find elsewhere in Granada. The Palacio de la Madraza pales in comparison to Alhambra.
MoreSmall museum on the history of Granada, but go for the madrasa and its magnificent Moorish art. The conference room upstairs is also special, with the blend of artistic styles.
MoreWorth the visit to see the cubic room of the Madrassa. Take care that you know the language schedule of the tours, which you have to join and stick with; I got "stuck" on a Spanish tour, so really didnt get all the info (at all), but the guide seemed entirely knowledgeable, very much so. Very reasonable ticket, and the main room downstairs should be at the top of your Granada list (behind Generalife, etc.).
MoreStunning room but small and the upstairs is just ok
I liked it so much , 2€ ent.Kind stuff , I spent 45 mins .
This place has a stunning, well-conserved oratory, which you can visit for free. It gives a nice bit of insight in the history of Granada and its architecture. Well worth a quick visit when youre passing by. Its close to a lot of interesting places, so you wouldnt even have to make a detour.
MoreVery nice palace, has two rooms, patio and stairs. Splendid Arab decorations in the prayer room!
MoreIt is a 14th century Madraza or Masjid when Spain was under Islamic rulers. It is a well maintained place with ancient architecture. If you are in Granada Spain dont miss the opportunity to check it out.
MoreClearly not well preserved and like only 2 rooms to see.Very little information and the andalucia history clearly being rewritten.Its not worth going to and very disappointing
MoreSpectacular! You must see it when visiting Madrid!
Wow, stunning Palace with beautiful Islamic tiling and art work on the walls. Beautifully presented
MoreSmall but definitely worthy stop during a trip to Granada. Excellent way to see how the formerly Muslim parts of Granada was Catholicised
MoreVery good Islamic heritage. Entry free.
Enjoyed the Muslim room very much.
A phantastic palace with an mindlowing Islamic praying hall
As others have noted, its just €2, but very little to see.
As if in Morocco, a beautiful building testifies to Islamic architecture in an authentic Moroccan spirit
MoreVery interesting, affordable guided tour without reservation. I highly recommend to stop by!
MoreSmall but impressive palace. The guides are really nice and helpful.
Former Arabian university from 14th century with some well-preserved decorated interiors. In the first floor amazing wooden ceilings from the period when the building was used as a town hall. Low entrance fee.
MoreSo beautiful and easy to visit especially if you missed out on getting to the Alhambra
MoreAmazing place, so much history. MUST VISIT of Granada
The oratorium has stunning decorations and there is also a mudejar dhome in the upper floor which is worth a visit. The guide was amazing too
MoreLegendary University of Islamic, Christian and Jewish scholars
i love this place. the fee to go inside is only 2€. It’s a part of Granada university.
MoreNice place to visit, impressive the Arabian artwork.
We visited this place few days ago. It is neat, clean and well maintained. It demonstrates Spanish medieval (5th to 15th centuryMuslim heritage, besieds contemporary art, and even modern exhibionist European cartoons etc. The Madrasah is not far from a tributary of the Gran Via de Colon. The place is an area built on old Spanish Muslim constructions. Staff were polite, informative and professional. The ticketing office displays several books about history of Spain. We liked the place and had the opportunity to take lots of pictures (without flash, or sin flash as they say it in Spanish). South Spain is beautiful, lovely, and worths visiting. You need French or Spanish linguistic skills to get along with public, as many do not speak English, but some do their best to help you anyway. On the hand, while you are stuck in a situation for instance, the ladies on the ticketing office in Granada ALSA bus station for exapmle may tell you ; I only speak Spaniole (Spanish), I do not understand English. Meaning you may enjoy visiting these places if you do not depend solely on English alone.
MoreMe and the local imam visited this madrasah for spiritual enlightenment. We managed to get in without any fellow tourists in our way. We were floored by the beauty of the Islamic architecture at display here. Suddenly a gang of 30 tourists, armed with canon cameras busted through security. The delicate walls suffered from epileptic attacks from the amount of flash from cameras that pursued. The imam being the Good Samaritan that he is, immediately decided to take action and alert the authorities. We fled the scene and had heard that all 30 culprits have been locked away for good. Good riddance I say!
MoreA small interesting place with interesting history. I think if youre visiting the city for its historical gems, its worth the price of the ticket.
MoreWould recommend for 2 euros beautiful rooms and custodians.
A very good palace, prelude of the Arabic art, for who will visit Mezquita or Granada or Sevilla.
MoreSmall, quick 15 minutes for 2eu. Although it is part of a rich past of Muslim intellectualism little of that remains. Its a cultural center with 1 important exhibit...The Nazrid style ceiling is well preserved and gives you a sense of style and color the Alhambra Nazrid palace would have been painted.
MoreWonderful place to visit. It is probably the best preserved university from the medieval centuries.(maybe you have to check it your self)
MoreNot worth visiting. Ticket is 2 euro, but only two small rooms, nothing to aee
Very historic place, currently functions as part of local university and now is still widely accessible to public.
Morea small but nice centrally located madrasa in Granada, near the Cathedral. Of course, do not compare with Alhambra
MoreSmaller than it looks in the photos but a building with great history. Former city hall of the city.
MoreFirst "attraction" visited in the city. It gave us a first taste of Granada, recommended, expecially if you have 20 minutes to fill!
MoreGood food and wine and good Staff. Recomended.#LocalGuides #OnGoogleMaps
Very good tour guide. A must-see in Granada.
Beautiful building and excellent conference room.
