"Historic Former University"

Founded by Sultan Yusuf I in 1349, the Palacio de la Madraza was once a university and school of Islamic studies. Famous graduates include the poet Ibn Zamrak. See magnificent old Muslim prayer hall with its beautifully decorated prayer niche, or mirhab. It has undergone so many architectural changes, and the original façade was made of marble and inscribed in Arabic with scientific and philosophical theories. In 1500s the Catholic monarchs turned the building into the Town Hall. The Palacio de la Madraza now part of University of Granada and also houses a Fine Arts Academy where there are occasional exhibitions.
