Alhambra

So here is the the third post on my trip to Spain.

This particular post has to do with the Alhambra, in Granada Spain. So here is what I have learned about this place. The palace was completed around the end of the muslim rule of Spain in 1492. The contruction of the palace began approx. 1333 at the high of the Yusuf 1 and Mohamed V. The palace was created as a reflection of the hay day of the empire.

There are a few buildings on the site that are by all means worth to see.

There is the Palace of Charles the V. This palace was constructed in the reneissance style. This is a square building with a rounded courtyard in the center of the palace. This was completed arounf 1550. This is a beautiful palace that conveys strength of the ruler and the movement of catholisism after 1492.

Palace of Nazaire.

Now this palace is worth the admission of the Alhambra and 10 times more in my opinion. This palace was constructed around 1333 I beleive and it showcases the artestry of the people of have build this palace. There are arabe carvings on many of the palace walls, sculptured and manicured. It is such a beautiful place.

Here are some pictures.
