Palace and Park Complex Alhambra

Calle Real de la Alhambra, 18, 18009 Granada, Spain

Description:

The palace and park complex Alhambra, which means “Red Castle”, is also an ancient mosque, fortress and palace of the Moorish rulers of Granada.

For the first time references to it are found in the sources of the IX century. Today, the Alhambra is one of the best preserved examples of Moorish architecture in Europe. Here you can visit more than 15 towers built in the period from the XV to the XIX century, Meshuaru - a building for audiences and ships, the Lviv Palace, the official residence of the emir - the Comares Palace, the Raudou, the palace of Charles V and even some of the preserved baths at the mosque and many other architectural monuments of the ensemble.

As the residence of Muslim and Christian rulers, the Alhambra is now a museum complex where you can learn about the history of the ensemble itself, Islamic art and the fine arts of Granada.
