Situated in the historic heart of Granada is the Palacio de los Olvidados, nestled on the slopes of Santa Inés, within the lower Albaicín, the most historical and enchanting neighborhood of Granada, which was awarded the status of a World Heritage Site in 1984. The enchantment of its winding streets, where time appears to have paused, still exudes the ambience of a confluence of Arab, Sephardic, and Christian cultures. Amidst these narrow, history-rich lanes, stands the Palacio de los Olvidados, a 16th-century palace situated on the edge of the Darro River, at the base of the Alhambra, that promises to transport us back in time.
A visit to the interiors of this palace will culminate in a spectacular viewing platform with panoramic views of the Alhambra.
