Castril Palace is one of Granada’s finest Renaissance mansions, a serene and elegant refuge set in the historic Albaicín district. Built in the 16th century for the influential Zafra family, the palace is instantly recognizable by its ornate façade, where carved stone details and a famous inscription evoke the pride and power of its original owners. Inside, a peaceful courtyard framed by slender columns leads visitors into a world of quiet beauty, enhanced by the gentle sound of a central fountain. Today, the palace houses the Archaeological Museum of Granada, displaying artifacts that trace the region’s long and diverse history, from Iberian and Roman pieces to treasures from Al‑Andalus. The combination of refined architecture and rich cultural heritage makes Castril Palace a captivating stop for anyone exploring Granada’s past, offering a glimpse into both noble life and the layers of civilization that shaped the city.
