The location of the sun-burned abbey of Sacromonte in Granada is no coincidence. There is a legend that it was at this place that Saint Cecilio, the first bishop and patron of the city, once died from the Romans. Moreover, this legend is supported by facts: tablets in Arabic, which were found here. It is worthwhile to clarify that the authenticity of the tablets is still in doubt, which does not in the least hamper the monastery to exist and honor St. Cecilio.

You can see the tablets and make your judgment about their authenticity in the abbey museum. There is also an oven in which, it is believed, the remains of several other martyrs were burned. In addition, the exposition includes sculptures, paintings, the oldest map of Granada in the world.
