Highlights
In the historic city of Granada we find the Palacio de los Olvidados, located on the Santa Inés slope, in the lower Albaicín, the neighborhood with the greatest history and charm of Granada, which was declared a World Heritage Site in 1984. The magic of Its streets, in which time seems to have stopped, still preserve the air of a mixture of cultures, Arab, Sephardic and Christian. Among those streets, narrow and steeped in history, is the Palacio de los Olvidados, an old palace from the 16th century located on the banks of the Darro River, at the foot of the Alhambra, which will take us to another era.
It is inside where you will enjoy this exhibition and end your visit with a fantastic viewpoint overlooking the Alhambra.
