The Royal Chapel, with Ferdinando and Isabella's tombs. On the topmost picture, the building from the outside. The other pictures are scanned from brochures (just to give an idea), as it isn't permitted to take pictures inside this monument.
The Monastery of Cartuja. This monument, in baroque style, is considered the most beautiful building of the Spain: the decorations are present only inside, because, for that style, all the beauties should be dedicated only to God (indeed, from the outside, it is a building with a humble aspect). The pictures are scanned from a brochure, just to give you an idea of how it looks inside. It isn't permitted to take pictures inside this monument.
