Alhambra
The Alhambra is a palatine city and fortified complex on Sabika hill in Granada, Spain, famous for its Nasrid-era Islamic palaces alongside later Renaissance additions. The site combines military structures (the Alcazaba) with interconnected palaces, courtyards, baths, gardens and a sophisticated water system. It remains a single bounded monument visitors can walk through, both outside on the walls and inside in multiple named halls and courtyards.

As it stood in 1370
The shape it held in its prime.
A compact hilltop complex of reddish rammed-earth and stone walls, crenellated towers and square bastions, punctuated by terracotta-tiled roofs and cypress trees. The massing pairs austere fortress blocks (the Alcazaba) with a sequence of low palaces whose façades open onto inner courtyards: colonnaded porticoes, reflective pools, and pale marble fountains. A large, rusticated Renaissance block sits flush against the Nasrid palaces. The whole sits above a green slope of orchards and gardens.
