Spanish
Granada's period of splendour did not end with the departure of Boabdil
In Christian times it was also a privileged city, which enjoyed the favour of even the Catholic Monarchs. Characters of the stature of Gonzalo Fernández de Córdoba, better known as the Gran Capitán, also marked the future of these lands.
We will discover his tomb, located in the Monastery of San Jerónimo, with a guided tour of the monastery and its spectacular church.
An exciting story, a character that we are all familiar with, but almost nobody knows about. We will talk about his virtues, his passions and the events that led him to be, possibly, the best warrior that has ever existed in the history of Spain and Castile.

The legacy of Gonzalo Fernández de Córdoba, the Great Captain, extends beyond his military achievements, influencing the strategy and tactics of warfare throughout Europe.
His ability to lead and his ingenuity on the battlefield made him a crucial figure in the Italian campaigns, where his victories at Cerignola and Garellano changed the course of history.
