Alhambra Palace, Granada, Spain
Framed by the
foothills of the Sierra Nevada, the Alhambra Palace is a Moorish masterpiece
and one of Europe's most stunning monuments. Looming above the gorgeous
Andalucian town of Granada, the Nasrid sultans ruled what was the last Spanish
Muslim kingdom from this lavish royal palace for 250 years. They finally fell
to Ferdinand of Aragon and Isabella of Castile and it became a Christian Court
in 1492. The sprawling complex is made up of three parts: the Casa Real (the
royal palace), the Alcazaba (old fortress) and the dreamy summer palace
Generalife.
