The Alhambra
The Alhambra is a palace and fortress complex located in Granada, southern Spain.
It was originally constructed as a small fortress in AD 889 on the remains of Roman fortifications, and then rebuilt in the mid-13th century by the Nasrid emir Mohammed ben Al-Ahmar of the Emirate of Granada, who built its current palace and walls with many beautiful, intricate details.
Today it is one of the most visited tourist sites in all of Spain.
