Today we went to Capilla Reyes Catolicos in the Cathedral of Granada. This is where Queen Isabella and King Fernando are buried and our professor pointed out something very interesting about their monument. In this period, the pillows under the heads on men were concave and those of women were not. Supposedly, this was because men had heavy brains in their heads and women did not. Isabella’s tomb is the only female tomb to have an indented pillow because the Spanish people thought she was so clever.
