The tomb of Ferdinand and Isabella — the monarchs who united Spain and funded Columbus

Here lie Spain's notorious Catholic Monarchs, entombed in a chapel adjoining Granada's cathedral. Far more peaceful in death than their tumultuous lives would have suggested. Isabella and Ferdinand commissioned the elaborate Isabelline-Gothic-style mausoleum, but it was not completed until 1521. The sacristy contains a small but impressive museum with Ferdinand's sword and Isabella's sceptre, silver crown, and personal art collection.
