Housed in the historic Palace of Charles V within the Alhambra complex, the Museo de Bellas Artes de Granada offers a journey through Spanish art from the Renaissance to the modern era. The museum's collection emphasizes Andalusian and Granada-born artists, with notable works by Alonso Cano, Pedro de Mena, and José de Ribera. Visitors can explore galleries arranged chronologically, featuring religious paintings, Baroque sculptures, and 19th-century landscapes. The building itself, an unfinished Renaissance palace, adds architectural interest with its circular courtyard and grand columns.
