Alhambra and Generalife (Granada, Spain)

Above the city of Granada stands one of the most superb monuments ever built by man. The Palatine city of the Alhambra was a rich complex built by the Nazrid dynasty, and the last capital of Spain’s Muslim rulers before it was conquered by the Catholic Monarchs in 1492.

The Alhambra and Generalife complex is a delight to the senses, from its magnificent fortress walls to its delicate interiors,in which the finest artists left their mark on the light and colour of its rooms. But also, there is the scent of the gardens and the sound of running water, which are part of a unique whole that every art-lover must visit at some point in their life.
