Granda History

Aside from the vibrant nightlife and education, Granada is very important to Spanish history. After its conquest during the 2nd half of the 15th century, Granada’s conquest became the starting point of Spain’s rise to power as they started colonising other countries around the world. The numerous catholic churches that still exist today were built as a sign of Spanish conquest of Granada.
