The Alhambra
The Alhambra was declared a World Heritage Site in 1984, and its name comes from the color of its walls that were made with the clay of the land itself, hence its reddish color. The complex, whose visit requires at least three hours, is located on the hill of the Sabika, next to the Darro river. It is mainly made up of the Generalife Gardens, the Nasrid Palaces and the Alcazaba, Arabic construction. Of Christian invoice we find the palace of Carlos V and the church of Santa María, built on the old mosque. The Nasrid Palaces are grouped irregularly and the different rooms communicate with each other through patios or galleries. It is an unrivaled example of how light and water offer important decorative effects to architecture.. A careful choice of materials makes its ornamentation change according to the incidence of light.

Alcazaba
The Alcazaba is, together with Torres Bermejas, the oldest part of the Alhambra. It is thought that before its construction and the arrival of the Muslims in Segovia there were several buildings in the same area. The first news we have of the existence of the Granada Alcazaba dates from the 9th century, which is supposed to have been built by Sawwar ben Hamdun during the fighting between Arabs and Muladids.
We owe the current team to Mohamed I, who walled up the previous castle, raised defenses, three new towers (the Quebrada, the Tribute and the Candle), with what turned the Alcazaba into an authentic fortress, where the monarch would establish the royal residence, function that he kept in the reign of his son Mohamed II until the palaces were completed. From then on it remained as a fortress of a purely military nature.
