Nestled atop the Sabika hill, the Alhambra was initiated in 1238 by the founder of the Emirate of Granada, Muhammad I Ibn al-Ahmar. Its spectacular palaces, including the Mexuar, Comares Palace, Palace of the Lions, and Partal Palace, are a testament to the superb craftsmanship and heritage of the Nasrid dynasty. After becoming the Royal Court of Ferdinand and Isabella in 1492, the complex fell into disrepair over the years, only to be revitalised after the defeat of Napoleon I. Awash with intricate courtyards, water features, and exquisite Moorish architecture, the Alhambra is a must-visit for any traveller to Spain.
