Granada Cathedral, Royal Chapel & the End of the Reconquista

The Catedral de Granada (begun 1523 — the first Renaissance cathedral in Spain, designated on the site of the Great Mosque of the Nasrid Emirate) and the Capilla Real (the Royal Chapel — built 1505-1521 as the mausoleum of the Catholic Monarchs Ferdinand and Isabella, the patrons of Columbus) together mark the moment on January 2, 1492, when Granada fell to the Christian reconquest and Spain's history changed forever.
