The intricate stonework is a great example of Spain’s Plateresque style, represented by delicate, detail-packed, filigree-like carvings.

But even this greatest Christian spot in Granada, with its lacy filigree style known as Plateresque for the influence of Moorish silverwork, shines with the artistic legacy of the Moors.

As it and Salamanca were the two places where the silversmith's art flourished, so they are the two centers for the best Plateresque buildings.

The third of the Plateresque buildings, well within Renaissance lines this last, the College of the Holy Cross founded by Cardinal Mendoza, now contains a grammar school, a library of some thousand volumes open to the public, and the Museum of the city.

In the city itself are some ancient remains, such as a temple of Mars, and the fluted columns of a temple of Diana built into a medi�val house, which, by the way, has a lovely Plateresque window, but most of the ruins lie completely outside the present town.
