The Madrasa of Granada (Spanish: Madraza de Granada) also known as the Palacio de la Madraza or the Madrasa Yusufiyya (Arabic: المدرسة اليوسفية), is a historic building and former madrasa in Granada, Spain. It was founded in 1349 by the Nasrid monarch Yusuf I, Sultan of Granada. The building is currently part of the University of Granada and is the seat of the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de Nuestra Señora de las Angustias ("Royal Academy of Fine Arts of Our Lady of Sorrows").
It is located on the street now known as Calle Oficios. The madrasa was built at the heart of the city, near the main mosque (now the site of the Granada Cathedral) and the Alcaicería, then the elite bazaar where silk, gold, linen and other cloth were traded.
Very historic place, currently functions as part of local university and now is still widely accessible to public.

a small but nice centrally located madrasa in Granada, near the Cathedral. Of course, do not compare with Alhambra

Smaller than it looks in the photos but a building with great history. Former city hall of the city.

First "attraction" visited in the city. It gave us a first taste of Granada, recommended, expecially if you have 20 minutes to fill!

Wonderful place to visit. It is probably the best preserved university from the medieval centuries.(maybe you have to check it your self)

Small, quick 15 minutes for 2eu. Although it is part of a rich past of Muslim intellectualism little of that remains. It's a cultural center with 1 important exhibit... The Nazrid style ceiling is well preserved and gives you a sense of style and color the Alhambra Nazrid palace would have been painted.
