Apart from the alhambra there are many other impressive monuments in Granada. One of the most impressive, certainly sizewise, is the great cathedral. I have seen quite a few impressive churches and cathedrals in my time but the Spanish certainly know how to go about these types of things. It's incredible how much money and effort much have gone into the making of these things and I guess the discovery of America around the time these things were being built and elaborated on certainly did not hurt. There are many references to Columbus in the city and its monuments. Apparently the king and queen of Spain were busy besieging Granada when they denied his requests for the second time. He then set off to petition to the king of France and they quickly changed their minds..
