The Franciscan convent that the Catholic Monarchs had built in 1494 over a Nasrid palace in the Alhambra, where Isabella and Ferdinand lay buried until their move to the Royal Chapel in 1521. Most of its present appearance dates to the 18th century, with the bell tower of 1787. The Franciscans left in 1835, Leopoldo Torres Balbás restored it from 1927, and it has been the Parador de San Francisco since 1945.
