Plaza Nueva, Albaicín
Granada, September 2023
“The Palacio de la Chancillería is a building located in Plaza Nueva, in the city of Granada, located in the autonomous community of Andalusia (Spain). It was built by order of Charles I of Spain between 1531 and 1587 to house the Royal Chancery of Granada. It currently houses the headquarters of the Superior Court of Justice of Andalusia, Ceuta and Melilla. It was declared an Asset of Cultural Interest and is considered the most emblematic Mannerist work in the city. It was the first building of this type to be built in Spain to house a court of justice. The building was built by order of Charles I and in 1531 the works began, lasting until 1587, a period in which the façade and staircase were completed, already under the reign of Philip II. It consists of two parts: the Chancery and the Royal Prison, joined by a triangular interior nave.” (Palacio de la Chancillería, Wikipedia)
