Granada - Plaza Nueva

Northeast of the Granada Cathedral, in the busy Plaza Nueva, is the Audiencia (Law Courts), built between 1531 and 1587 as the Real Cancillería (Royal Chancellery). It has a beautiful two-story arcaded courtyard and a magnificent staircase with a fine timber ceiling. From the Plaza Nueva the Cuesta de Gomérez ascends to the Alhambra, above the town to the east.
