Víznar is a municipality located in the province of Granada, Spain, only a few miles from the city of Granada itself. According to the 2005 census (INE), the town has a population of 789 inhabitants.
Site of the exquisite neo-classical Summer palace of an 18th-century archbishop of Granada, Don José Manuel Moscoso y Peralta, (1723–1811), an important figure in the history of Peru, the near-vicinity of Víznar was the place of execution, in 1936, of the noted Spanish poet, Federico García Lorca, at the beginning of the Spanish Civil War.[2]
