During the period of Muslim domination of Spain from 711 to 1492, Granada was the finest city on the peninsula. Granada was the last Muslim stronghold in Spain before the re-conquest by the Catholic Monarchs, Ferdinand and Isabella. Today it is still home to the greatest Muslim legacy in Europe, as seen in particular through its architecture. Granada has one of the most inspiring attractions on the Continent - the 11th century Alhambra. Set against the stunning Sierra Nevada and surrounded by cypress and elms, it's an escape into Granada's Moorish past. Granada is also home to the Royal Chapel, where Ferdinand and Isabella are buried, along with their daughter Juana the Mad and Juana's husband, Felipe the Fair.
