The Monastery of Cartuja - Serene, Austere and Fasinating Place to See
You can enter the Cartuja Monastery through a simple patio with arches.
Inside the monastery you will first see the Refectory and the Church.
The Church has a single nave divided into three parts.
The first part was for the monks, the second part immediately behind this for the laity, and the third, near the door of the church, was for the people.
What really has given fame to the Monastery of the Cartuja in
Granada is the sacristy, to the left of
the presbytery.
The Chapel has a dazzling appearance hard to describe because of the chromatic richness of its marbles.
The Cartuja Monastery is an example of a unique Baroque style and offers great paintings and sculptures of the Granada School.

Leaflet available in English
Would be great to have a leaflet available in English. This is such a beautiful place and I wanted to know more about what I was seeing as I walked around (Sally).
