About Alhambra

The Alhambra, a jewel of Islamic architecture, is Granada's most iconic landmark. This sprawling complex blends fortifications, palaces, and gardens, showcasing the sophistication of the Nasrid dynasty. From the opulent Hall of the Ambassadors to the tranquil Generalife gardens, the Alhambra offers a glimpse into a bygone era of artistic and architectural innovation.

Did you know?

The name 'Alhambra' originates from the Arabic term 'Al-Hamra', which means 'the red one', a reference to the reddish walls and towers of the complex.

Washington Irwing, the American author wrote 'Tales of the Alhambra' while actually living in the palace, which has since become a popular literary classic.

Alhambra's Nasrid Palaces feature intricate ‘honeycomb’ ceilings that were designed to symbolize paradise.

Alhambra's Generalife gardens are known for their ‘water staircases’ a fountain system that uses gravity to distribute water to the different levels.

Palace of Charles V

This unique palace highlights the European influence on the Alhambra with its Renaissance architecture. Inside, you'll find two museums: the Alhambra Museum, which showcases Moorish artifacts and history, and the Fine Arts Museum, celebrating Spanish art. 

Court of the Myrtles

The Court of the Myrtles is named after the myrtle bushes that line its central reflecting pool, and it is one of the most iconic sights within the Nasrid Palaces. 

Alcazaba Fortress

The Alcazaba Fortress is the oldest part of the Alhambra Palace complex, serving as a military precinct with robust walls and towers. From its ramparts, you can enjoy sweeping vistas of Granada.

Hall of the Ambassadors

As the largest room in the Alhambra, the Hall of the Ambassadors served as the grand reception area for sultans. Its wooden ceiling represents the seven heavens of Islamic cosmology, a masterpiece of craftsmanship.

We visited the Alhambra in spring and had plenty of space, even though admission times were booked up a week in advance (Chinese holidays). We had an experienced German-speaking guide who guided us well and cleverly through the various checkpoints and gave us a good explanation of the history of the Alhambra. Everything went well at the meeting point before admission. All tours are conducted with microphones and headphones, so you can always hear the guide clearly, even if you quickly take a photo.
