After the Christian conquest, Granada and its territory suffered several transformations, including the intro-duction of new Renaissance architectures, the modification of Alhambra’s palaces, walls and doors, and the substitution of mosques and synagogues with catholic churches. The expulsion of the Jewish inhabitants of Spain in 1492 had a meaningful impact on post-war events in Granada and its urban metamorphosis.
This lecture is divided into five parts. First, we will address the transformation of the Nasrid Palaces in the Alhambra into a Christian Fortress and an Imperial Palace. Then we will present the cathedral of Granada as a project that was meant to be the protagonist of Granada’s Christian landscape and also the Royal mausole-um of the Spanish Empire. The third part focuses on Mudejar style, an individual type of crafts and construc-tive technique mastered by the Moorish population. The second half of the sixteenth century will add addi-tional elements to Granada, as it lost its Imperial project. Finally, we will address how Granada’s religious elites developed a contra-Reformist project with important urban consequences.
