The great complex of the Alhambra is the best-preserved medieval Arab palace in the world and, with nearly two million visitors annually, it is also the most popular monument in Spain. Built on the largely inaccessible Sabika Hill overlooking the city of Granada, its most distinctive phase began in the 11th century as the qalat al-Hamra (Red Fort) of the Ziridian rulers. From the 13th to almost the end of the 15th century the kings of the succeeding Nasrid dynasty embellished the site in a most spectacular fashion.

Puerta de la Justicia
The Wine Gate so called because it was used as a wine cellar in the 16th century marks what was once the main entrance arch to the Medina (market).
From these ramparts, visitors can enjoy superb views of Granada. The giant cisterns (aljibes) underneath were built by the Christian conquerors.
Although largely in ruins, this fortress is well worth a look. Dont miss climbing up onto the Torre de la Vela for views of the Sierra Nevada.
The Alhambra, backed by the Sierra Nevada
This Italian Renaissance palace is the masterpiece of Pedro Machuca, a student of Michelangelo. Inside are the Museo de Bellas Artes and the Museo de la Alhambra, with its fine collection of Nasrid art.
Palacio de Carlos V
The Nasrid palaces are built of simple brick, wood and stucco, so as not to compete with the creations of Allah.
The most poorly preserved of the three palaces, this was the most public space, dedicated to judicial and bureaucratic business. The original structure dates from 1365, but in the 16th century the Christians converted it to a chapel.
Built in the mid-14th century, this area constituted the Serallo, where the sultan would receive dignitaries and deal with diplomatic issues. Inside is the Saln de Embajadores, the main throne room of the Alhambra. In front of the palace is the Patio de Arrayanes.
Palacio de Comares
Dating from the late 1300s, this palace was the Harem, the private zone reserved for the sultan and his family. The fountain with 12 lions, in the central courtyard of the palace, may represent the 12 signs of the zodiac, the 12 hours of the clock, or the 12 tribes of Israel.
As you leave the Alhambra, stroll through the gardens with their watercourses laid out in an area that used to have palaces of its own. All you can see of them now are five porticoed arches. This area leads up to the .
