Al Hambra Palace in Grenada


By Seif Kamel

Spain, the land of history, architecture, love, and passion, there is always the Spanish style of many various branches. There are several historical sites that are always worth a visit by travelers who tour Spain.

Abu Abdullah Muhammad ibn Yusuf ibn Nasr, better known as Mohamed I of Grenada constructed the Al Hambra Palace in the 13th century to become the most popular touristic site of the city.

Wonderful terraces, open courts with amazing architecture and decorations, amazing hard to find water fountains, and some traditional Arabian style of tiles, colors, and floors, the Al Hambra Palace is one of its kind in Europe and perhaps in the whole world.

A surface area of more than 14,000 square meters full of wonders! The features other than the palace include the Qasabah of Al Hambra which is a fortified section with some notable walls.
