No visit to Granada would be complete without a visit to the Alhambra - one of the world’s most beautiful buildings.Highlights- Time to admire centuries of Islamic art and architecture - Visit Generalife Palace and Gardens - Guided tour around La Alcazaba This beautiful palace complex, perched high on a hill overlooking the city, is the culmination of centuries of Islamic art and architecture in Moorish Spain, the flowering of a unique culture. This guided tour in the company of an expert in the history and artistic and cultural heritage of the Alhambra will really bring this stunning building to life. The Alhambra is located on a once inaccessible hill overlooking the city’s most ancient neighbourhoods and the valley of the River Darro. It was originally built as a fortress in 899 before being converted into a Royal Palace by Yusuf I, Sultan of Granada. Your knowledgeable guide will show you around the old fortress, known as La Alcazaba, the Royal Palace Complex with its Harem, the Court of the Myrtles with its large pond used for cooling the buildings in the summer heat, the magnificent Hall of the Ambassadors and the breathtakingly beautiful Court of the Lions and the Hall of the Abencerrajes. We also visit the Generalife Palace and Gardens built during the reign of Muhammad III (1302-1309) and redecorated shortly afterwards by Abu I-Walid Isma'il. The complex was used as a summer palace and retreat by the Nazrid emirs of Granada. Admire the Patio de la Acequia with its long pools framed by flowerbeds, fountains, colonnades and pavilions, and the Sultana's Garden, thought to be inspired by the style of medieval Persian Gardens.
