Visiting the Alhambra, Nasrid Palaces, Charles V Palace and Generalife Gardens

The City: Granada — A Legacy of Al-Andalus

Granada, once the heart of the longest-lasting Arab kingdom in Spain, proudly preserves its rich Moorish heritage. For over 800 years, it flourished under Muslim rule, until its fall to the Catholic Monarchs, Ferdinand and Isabella, in 1492 — a milestone that marked the end of Al-Andalus.

Today, Granada is globally renowned for its architectural crown jewel: the Alhambra Palace and its adjacent Generalife Gardens. Perched high above the city, the Alhambra is the best-preserved example of Islamic architecture in Spain. This majestic fortress complex, spanning over 100,000 square meters, continues to captivate visitors with its intricate palaces, serene courtyards, and historical fountains. Often referred to as the eighth wonder of the world, it remains one of the most iconic landmarks in Europe.
