Summary
| Description |
We had a 3 hour guided tour of The Alhambra in Granada. The site includes the Nasrite palaces and the Generalife pleasure palace. Also here is the Alcazaba, gardens and the Palace of Charles V. It is a <a href="http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/314" rel="noreferrer nofollow">World Heritage Site</a>. Alhambra, Generalife and Albayzín, Granada. <a href="http://wikimapia.org/20224427/Nasrid-Palaces" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Nasrid Palaces</a> Mohammed ben Al-Hamar (Mohammed I) was the first king to move to the Alcazaba and no records about a new palace being built are kept until those of Abu l-Walid Ismail (fifth king of the dynasty). A palace was built near the Great Mosque (Gran Mezquita) but only the Mexuar is now left because Yusuf I destroyed it completely. He started some improvements in the Comares Tower (Torre de Comares), the Court of the Myrtles (Patio de los Arrayanes) and the Baths (Baños). These improvements were finished by Mohammed V, who added them all to the Mexuar, extended the gallery that would later be called Machuca and constructed the Palace of the Lions (Palacio de los Leones). These two kings were the most important ones as regards the construction, reconstruction, and decoration of the Alhambra. <a href="http://wikimapia.org/21811511/es/Patio-de-Machuca" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Patio de Machuca</a> Patio de Machuca, where the architects of the Palace of Charles V worked, had a pool shaped like the Roman nymphaea. Water from various round fountains flowed into the pool. On the north side is the reconstructed portico , above which a small Tower rises (Torre de los Puñales). There probably once was a similar portico on the south side, in the memory of which cypress trees were planted in the shape of an arch. |
