Alhambra Palace

Alhambra Palace is located in Grenada, Andalusia, Spain. The fortress sits on a plateau on the bank of the Darro River, and was first mentioned in the 9th century. It was built on top of the remains of a Roman fortification from 889. Building of the complex began in 1238 by Muhammad I Ibn al-Ahmar. The complex served as the royal palace of the Moorish Nasrid dynasty in the 13th - 15th centuries. The Moorish architecture has intricate plasterwork, stucco, and marble. After the expulsion of the Moors in 1492, much of the interior was effaced, the furniture was removed, and the mosque was replaced with a church. King Charles I of Spain rebuilt portions of the complex in a Renaissance style. He also destroyed part of the structure to create an Italianate palace in 1526. The complex has suffered through explosions and an earthquake, which damaged the complex. Restoration work began in 1828 and continues today. The complex has two towers with numerous gardens, fountains, and courtyards. The palace’s Court of the Lions is an ornate gallery with 124 marble columns, filigree walls, a wooden domed ceiling, and a white marble colonnade that leads to the Fountain of Lions with 12 white marble lions. The Hall of the Ambassadors is the largest room in the Alhambra, located in the Comares Tower. The room is 37 feet square with a 75-foot domed center. Alhambra Palace is open to the public.
