Alhambra - practical information and attractions
Parking lots are located in the immediate vicinity of the monuments. They are easy to find - just follow the signs, which are numerous throughout Granada. The Alhambra is the greatest achievement and crown of Arab culture and art in all of Europe. The word Alhambra comes from the Arabic word "al-Hambra", which means "red", from the red color of the clay from which the fortress was built.

The Alhambra is located on a hill that overlooks the area. It consists of several parts - the first is surrounded by walls, behind which is the old Alcazaba fortress, the Nasridov palaces and the Charles V Palace. The second part, behind the walls, is a garden complex and a Generalife palace. The expansion of the Alhambra began in the 13th century, and subsequent rulers continued it, expanding the building with new elements.
The Alcazaba is the oldest part of the Alhambra, dating back to the middle of the thirteenth century. It is located at the end of the hill, opposite Nasridov's palace. It is worth climbing the fortress walls and admiring the panorama of Granada.

Nasridovsky Palace delights and enchants! Intricate, rich decorations and colorful mosaics will make you feel like you're in a "Thousand and One Nights" fairy tale. At the entrance to the complex, we are greeted by the oldest Mekhuar Palace. It was a place where the sultan met with his subjects and heard their prayers. The next room is the Mirhab, full of columns, arches, sculptures and lace windows.

Another palace, Komares, is the official residence of the sultans. Majestic towers over the pool in Myrtle's courtyard. You can hide under the columns in the courtyard and watch the colorful fish swimming in the pool.

The 14th century Lviv Palace is the most beautiful part of the entire complex. It combines Moorish art and European influences (Romanesque, Gothic and Renaissance architecture). It is here that you will find the most popular part of the monument, which is often photographed and placed in folders - the fountain with 12 lion figures.
