The Alhambra in Granada, Spain, is a medieval Moorish palace famous for the beauty of its architecture that has inspired stories and legends. It was built by the last Islamic dynasty in Spain during the 13th and 14th centuries. Moorish poets described it as “a pearl set in emeralds.” The architecture is exquisite, with intricate tile work and geometric patterns that incorporates water and gardens into the designs. The Alhambra represents the height of Moorish culture before the fall of Granada to the Spanish in 1492. Uniquely well preserved, it brings back the lost era of sophistication and artistry of Moorish Spain.
