History
King Henry II of Castile founded the tribunal of the Real Audiencia in the Cortes de Toro in 1371 , the first of these being the Real Audiencia y Chancillería de Valladolid , which initially had jurisdiction over the entire Crown of Castile . With the expansion of territories after the marriage of the Catholic Monarchs and the subsequent conquest of Granada , Queen Elizabeth I divided the court's jurisdiction in two. For this she created the Royal Audience and Chancery of Ciudad Real in 1494, granting judicial powers to him in the territories included to the south of the river Tajo , while to the one of Valladolid the north of the same river corresponded to him.
In 1500 , the transfer of the Royal Chancery from Ciudad Real to Granada was proposed , a fact that became effective five years later, when Juana I was queen . This new court inherited the legal powers of the previous one, and had less than the one in Valladolid , since it lacked the Vizcaya Chamber . After a series of judicial reforms and a subsequent reorganization of the royal courts, it lost part of its jurisdiction when the Royal Court of Degrees was created in Seville in 1525 and a year later the Royal Court of the Canary Islands , based in Gran Canaria ..
In 1531 King Carlos I ordered the construction of the Palacio de la Chancillería , being the first building of this type to be built in Spain to house a court of justice. [ citation needed ] The project was executed by the architect Francisco del Castillo el Mozo , being the work of the stonemasons Martín Díaz de Navarrete and Pedro Marín , while the sculptural work was carried out by Alonso Hernández . The courtyard has been attributed to the layout of Diego de Siloé . It was completed in 1587 , reigning Philip II, and is considered the most emblematic Mannerist work of the Nasrid city.
During the 18th century , power and powers were lost when the figure of the mayor was created , until the Spanish Constitution of 1812 began a process in which the existence of these royal courts, considered archaic, was evaluated. After the death of Fernando VII and the subsequent implantation of liberalism , a series of decrees were determined, known as Nueva Planta Decrees , among which is the one of January 26, 1834, by which the royal audiences were suppressed and created at their command. time the territorial hearings. Its powers passed to the newly createdTerritorial Court of Granada , with jurisdiction over the provinces of Granada , Almería , Jaén and Málaga.
