Two notable buildings within this fortress are Palacio Nazaries and Alcazaba.
For an alternative religious site you can visit the stunning Capilla Real, the royal chapel that is a prime example of christian gothic archtecture, it was completed in 1521 with a complimentive museum attached that although rather small packs a big punch (metaphorically of course)
