- 6 years ago
The Alhambra is a palace and fortress complex located in Granada,
Andalusia, Spain. According to information available, it was originally constructed as a small fortress in AD 889 on the remains of Roman fortifications. The founder of the dynasty, Muhammed Al-Ahmar, began with the restoration of the old fortress. The construction of the palaces dates back to the 14th century and is the work of two great kings: Yusuf I and Muhammed V. The Alhambra became a Christian court in 1492 when the Catholic Monarchs (Ferdinand and Isabel) conquered the city of Granada. The place was subject to centuries until in 1984 when the Alhambra became an UNESCO World Heritages site. There is also a song 'La Alhambra' best played on a solo Classical Guitar. Strongly recommended to visit.
