San Francisco Convent Ruins (Palace of the ex-Convent of San Francisco), Alhambra — Granada

The structure identified in the provided sources is the Palace of the ex-Convent of San Francisco in the Alhambra of Granada. Originally a medieval Nasrid palace, it was transformed into a Franciscan convent after the Spanish conquest of Granada. By the early 20th century it had fallen into ruin and was significantly restored under the direction of Leopoldo Torres Balbás in the 1920s. Since 1945 it has served as a state-owned Parador hotel, indicating active managed use rather than abandonment. The supplied research notes and source excerpts contain architectural, institutional, and restoration history but do not include any accounts of apparitions, poltergeist activity, auditory phenomena, physical manifestations, named spirits, or other paranormal claims tied to this site. No dates, witness testimonies, or folkloric narratives connected to hauntings appear in the provided material. Several other supplied sources mention “San Francisco” in unrelated contexts (e.g., Franciscan mission history in California, travel writing) and do not corroborate a haunted reputation for this specific convent palace in Granada or a similarly named ruin in Nicaragua. Because the user's request named "Granada — haunted legends (Nicaragua)", the documentation here flags a geographic discrepancy: the verifiable site from the sources is in Granada, Spain. The supplied materials contain no support for a San Francisco Convent Ruins in Nicaragua or for any haunted legends associated with either location. Further folkloric or ethnographic research (local Spanish-language folklore collections, hotel/parador histories, or regional oral-history projects) would be required to substantiate any haunted claims.
