The Alhambra is a historic palace complex located in Granada, Spain. It is one of the most impressive works of Moorish architecture on the Iberian Peninsula. Construction of the Alhambra began in the 13th century, when the Spanish territories were under the rule of the Muslim Nasrid dynasty.
The Alhambra was originally a military fortress, but in later centuries it was transformed into a royal residence. It is a complex including palaces, gardens, fortifications and towers that is an excellent example of Islamic architecture with Christian influences.
The most famous buildings in the Alhambra are the Nasrid Palace, the Alkazar and the Generalife gardens. The Nasrid Palace impresses with its rich ornamentation, mosaics, sculptures and fountains, while the Alkazar, which is the older part of the complex, displays characteristic elements of Islamic architecture.
The Alhambra has survived many turbulent historical events, including the Reconquista, as well as attempts at destruction in later centuries. Today it is one of the most visited monuments in Spain and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
