The 17th-century demographic stagnation in the city and overall steady population increase in the wider kingdom went in line with the demographic disaster experienced throughout the century in the rest of the Crown of Castile.{{Sfn|Garrido García|2006|pp=60–61}} The city was overshadowed in importance by other cities including [[Seville]] and the capital, [[Madrid]].{{sfn|RingSalkinLa Boda|1995|p=298}}

Between 1810 and 1812 Granada was occupied by [[Napoleon]]'s army during the [[Peninsular War]].{{sfn|RingSalkinLa Boda|1995|p=298}} The French troops occupied the Alhambra as a fortified position and caused significant damage to the monument. Upon evacuating the city, they attempted to dynamite the whole complex, successfully blowing up eight towers before the remaining fuses were disabled by Spanish soldier José Garcia, thus saving what remains today.{{Sfn|López|2011|p=301}} In 1830 [[Washington Irving]] lived in Granada and wrote his ''[[Tales of the Alhambra]]'', which revived some international interest in southern Spain and in its Islamic-era monuments.{{sfn|RingSalkinLa Boda|1995|p=299}}

In the 1930s the tensions that eventually divided Spain were evident in Granada, with frequent riots and friction between landowners and peasants. When the [[Spanish Civil War]] broke out in 1936, Granada was one of the cities that joined the [[Nationalist faction (Spanish Civil War)|Nationalist]] uprising.{{sfn|RingSalkinLa Boda|1995|p=298–299}}<ref>{{Cite web |title=Spanish Civil War {{!}} Definition, Causes, Summary, & Facts {{!}} Britannica |url=https://www.britannica.com/event/Spanish-Civil-War |access-date=14 November 2021 |website=www.britannica.com |language=en |archive-date=14 November 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211114223227/https://www.britannica.com/event/Spanish-Civil-War |url-status=live }}</ref> There was local resistance against the Nationalists, particularly from the working classes in the Albaicín, which was violently repressed.{{sfn|RingSalkinLa Boda|1995|p=299}} During the 1950s and 1960s, under the [[Francoist Spain|Franco regime]], the province of Granada was one of the poorest areas in Spain.{{sfn|RingSalkinLa Boda|1995|p=299}} In recent decades tourism has become a major industry in the city.{{sfn|RingSalkinLa Boda|1995|p=299}}
