What you'll see
A church square high in the Albaicín with the classic view: the whole Alhambra across the valley, its walls glowing red, and the snowy Sierra Nevada behind.
A brief history
The church beside it, San Nicolás, was built over a mosque in the 1500s; the mosque the city's Muslim community opened next door in 2003 has a quiet garden with the same view.
