Casa de Zafra y Centro de Interpretación del Albaicín
The Casa de Zafra, today home to the Centro de Interpretación del Albaicín, is one of the most evocative historic houses in Granada. Hidden within the narrow streets of the Albaicín, this fifteenth‑century Nasrid residence preserves the elegance of its original architecture, with a serene courtyard, delicate plasterwork, and the quiet intimacy typical of medieval domestic life. Inside, the interpretation centre offers a clear, engaging introduction to the history of the Albaicín, tracing its evolution from an Islamic neighbourhood to a vibrant multicultural district. Interactive displays, maps, and archaeological findings help visitors understand the urban layout, daily customs, and transformations that shaped the area over centuries. The house itself becomes part of the narrative, illustrating how families once lived in this hillside quarter overlooking the Alhambra. Thoughtful and atmospheric, the Casa de Zafra provides an essential starting point for anyone wishing to explore the identity of Granada’s oldest district, grounding the walk through its streets in context and memory.
