Deemed as one of the most beautiful places in the country of Spain, the city of Granada is a throw back on all things old and antique. The city of Granada is a small part of the region that makes up Andalusia and is located in the southern end of the country of Spain. The city is an example in the richness and variety that a chequered history can give rise to. Such is the magic and aura of the city that the winds still carry with them the smell of an ancient Arabian culture. However, the essence of the city of Granada lies in its enmeshing of an exotic Arabian past with a European Christian civilization. It is this aspect of the city of Granada which enables the city to host numerous offerings both for its residents and also its visitors. The remnants of old mosques, colossal churches, the Alhambra, many other such palaces and other establishments speak of the rich myriad faceted history of the territory. The city has many such establishments that are highly valued for their architectural as well as historical value. Of them, the Casa Del Chapiz in Granada is one such prominent establishment. The Casa Del Chapiz in Granada is actually two Arab mansions that were built in the early years of the 16th century. Later, over the years, these two mansions were fused to give the one spectacular Casa Del Chapiz in Granada. The Casa Del Chapiz in Granada is considered to have the most spectacular and exemplary Arab and Moor architecture in the whole of the city. The other unique feature of the Casa Del Chapiz in Granada is the largest of its kind in the city. Owned by Hernán López and Lorenzo el Chapiz, the Casa Del Chapiz in Granada is covered end to end with Mudéjar motifs. The Casa Del Chapiz in Granada currently is home to the School of Arabic Studies, which offers training in Islamic studies and Spanish. The School of Arabic Studies acquired the Casa Del Chapiz in Granada in 1923, and began its operations from the year 1932 onwards. The most significant part of the Casa Del Chapiz in Granada is the courtyard that is centrally positioned within the Casa Del Chapiz in Granada. This courtyard in the Casa Del Chapiz in Granada has a small central pool with galleries on three sides, while the fourth side remains open, overlooking the gardens within the Casa Del Chapiz in Granada complex and also gives a good bird’s eye view of the Alhambra.
