Habsburg and Bourbon Spain
Granada
Today: Spain
- Years
- 1492–1833
- Role
- Capital of the Kingdom of Granada, seat of the Chancellery
Capital of the Castilian kingdom of Granada from the surrender of 2 January 1492, the city raised the Royal Chapel, the Royal Hospital, the cathedral, the palace of Charles V and the Chancellery in the 16th century. The Morisco revolt of 1568 emptied the Albaicín, which fell from some 30,000 inhabitants in 1560 to about 5,000 in 1620. It passed 50,000 inhabitants around 1752, leaving an important Baroque legacy.
