Lonely Planet review for Castle of the Christian Monarchs
The Castle of the Christian Monarchs began as a palace and fort for Alfonso X in the 13th century. From 1490 to 1821 the Inquisition operated from here. Today its gardens are among the most beautiful in Andalucía. The building houses an old royal bathhouse, the Baños Califales. Take time to gaze at the third century Roman sarcophagus, with its reflections on life and death.
