You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Granada Charterhouse''' (((lang-es|Cartuja de Granada))) is a [[Carthusian]] [[monastery]] in [[Granada]], [[Spain]]. It is one of the finest examples of [[Spanish Baroque architecture|Spanish Baroque]] architecture.

The charterhouse was founded in 1506; construction started ten years later, and continued for the following 300 years. While the exterior is a tame ember in comparison, the interior of the monastery's is a flamboyant explosion of ornamentation. Its complex echoing geometric surfaces make of it one of the masterpieces of [[Churrigueresque]] style. The most striking features include the [[church tabernacle|tabernacle]], constructed to a design by [[Francisco Hurtado Izquierdo]], the [[church (building)|church]] and the famous [[sacristy]], built between 1727 and 1764 by Luis de Arévalo and F. Manuel Vasquez.<ref>Pevsner, Nikolaus. An Outline of European Architecture. New York: Penguin Books, Ltd., 1963</ref> The charterhouse displays an extensive collection of paintings, prominent among which the works of Fray [[Juan Sánchez Cotán]].

== History ==
It arose from the decision made in 1458 by the community of the monastery of Santa María de El Paular. Construction began in 1506 once its site was established, after the transfer of land by the Great Captain, Gonzalo Fernández de Córdoba. The current site does not correspond to the land ceded by the Grand Captain so it was disrelented from the project. In 1516 works that would last three centuries were restarted without finishing the initial project, and of which only part is preserved, because in 1842 the cloister and monk's cells were destroyed. The priory house was affected; it was totally destroyed in 1943. The monastery was inhabited until 1835 when the monks were expelled from it. Its construction lasted from the sixteenth to the nineteenth century.

== Description ==

The building consists of the following parts:

* Cover: sixteenth century and plateresco style.
* Claustrillo: seventeenth century with Doric archery.
* Refectory: with gothic crossing of aristones and half-point arches. It is decorated with works by Juan Sánchez Cotán.
* Sala de San Pedro y San Pablo or de profundis: it has an altarpiece also painted by Sánchez Cotán.
* Chapel of Legos: built between 1517 and 1519 by Friar Alonso de Ledesma with last Gothic style. Adorned by paintings by Vicente Carducho.
* Chapter hall: with cross vault and Carducho paintings.
* Chapels: there are three in total located in the cloister.
* Church: construction began in the middle of the sixteenth century and ends in 1602. It is divided into three parts, each with a different access.
* Sancta Sactorum or Sagrario.
* Sacristy: began to be built in 1727 and was completed in 1764. Richly ornate, it is worthy exponent of the final phase of Spanish Baroque. In the dome, painted by Tomás Ferrer in 1735, are St. Bruno, San Juan and other founders of the Order of the Carthus.
