Guadalajara Monuments
Stone bridge
Originally arab, in very good conditions, with walking paths on
both sides and iron banisters, added in 1922.
The Infantado Palace
By far, the most significant architectural piece of Guadalajara.
It was seriously injured during the civil war, still, after several
reconstruction processes, it is no possible to enjoy it during
the visiting schedules: Open from 9:00 to 21:00 on Mondays to
Fridays, and from 10:00 to 14:00 and 16:00 to 20:00 on Sundays
and public holidays.
Just a few meters away from the Infantado Palace, is located the
Remedios Church, which is beautiful in the inside, as a
result of its well designed proportions, its spaciousness, elegance
and excellent illumination.
Santiago Church
A jewel of the Mudejar art, previously the Santa Clara convent,
was restored in 1974 by González Varcárcel, when
it achieved its current appearence.
The chapel of Luís de Lucena
Opposite Santa María Square, on the slope of San Miguel,
we will find the chapel of Luís de Lucena, a small and
almost unique construction which has a surprising variety decorative
elements made from bricks, the only raw material that was used
for constructing this building.
San Ginés Church
In Santo Domingo square, currently the main center of Guadalajara,
it is possible to find San Ginés Church, which used to
be Santo Domingo convent. Also, you can go shopping in any of
the many shops available in this zone.
The Duquesa de Sevillano pantheo
When visiting Guadalajara, you must visit the Duquesa de Sevillano
pantheon, as well as the set of buildings that are currently used
by the Adoratrices nuns. You can reach this zone by walking along
the Capitan Boixareu Rivera Street, crossing through the Concordia
park and the San Roque street and avenue. In order to see both
architectural settings, the best is to surround the pantheon and
view it from the high part of the college.
