    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 mosque) and 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)

    As if in Morocco, a beautiful building testifies to Islamic architecture in an authentic Moroccan spirit

    I would like to give more stars but only the entrance is open for the Public. Not that much to see but still a good place to stop over. Don't miss it out.

    Very small, it's free. The place it's pretty but you can't go near it to see the ceiling

    Very historic place, currently functions as part of local university and now is still widely accessible to public.

    It 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 don't miss the opportunity to check it out.

    A quick visit yes but also a beautiful one. You can't miss it as it is very close to the Cathedral and the Royal Chapel, and the entrance is free. So why not stopping, get impressed, take some photos and continue to your next landmark, probably the Alcaicería bazaar? This building, once named the Madraza, was the house of the Muslim School of Islamic Law. Today it belongs to the University of Granada. Be aware that on Mondays it is closed as all the Museums and official buildings . Just take a look at the pictures.

    It’s a nice place to visit while you are in Granada and are looking for something free to check out. Not much here though. Just a small area to read about and a Islamic moorish style design inside.

    Beautiful place, sadly they won't let you see most of it. Free entrance but you can't see the interesting historic rooms.

  • 1/5 Judith K. 1 year ago on Google
    Shame it's not open maybe they need to update Google to let customers know

    It's a pretty Palace that's worth visiting if you're passing. The first floor is open to the public as of 10/31/22 but the rest was closed. The decorations are beautiful and you can see some ruins of the original structures protected within the first floor. There is no cost to enter the first floor. Be aware of over eager street vendors in front of its main doors.

    Breathtaking decoration. A pity not a great deal of the original is retained.

  • 5/5 Zia A. 1 year ago on Google
    Free entry. Ground floor of the madrassa open to public. Rest is closed. Ornate decoration on the walls has been lost with the passage of time. Only mehraab bit remains intact. Level of details is similar to Madrassa yousaf bin tashfeen in Marrakech. It's probably same Yousuf who built both of these Madrassas.

  • 3/5 Ala Al D. 1 year ago on Google
    A lovely place. However, today I could only enter the first floor, the second floor and garden were closed

  • 1/5 Dean H. 2 years ago on Google
    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.

    A small interesting place with interesting history. I think if you're visiting the city for its historical gems, its worth the price of the ticket.
