""A Chronicle of the Conquest of Granada"" is a historical account of the Spanish conquest of the city of Granada in the 15th century. Written by American author Washington Irving, this book is the second volume of the two-part series ""The Chronicles of the Conquest of Granada"". The book is based on the chronicles of Fray Antonio Agapida, a fictitious monk who was said to have witnessed the events of the conquest firsthand. The book covers the final stages of the conquest, including the siege of the Alhambra and the surrender of the last Muslim ruler of Granada. It also delves into the political and social climate of the time, as well as the religious conflicts between the Christians and the Muslims.
