What makes Alhambra & Nasrid Palaces Guided Combo Tour (Skip-the-Line) a unique experience ?
Visit Spain’s most iconic monument, the Alhambra de Granada, on this 3-hour tour in a small group of up to 9 guests. With an expert guide, explore this fascinating UNESCO World Heritage Listed location and uncover it’s rich-history which dates back to 889AD.
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. So keep calm and enjoy the great view of Nasrid Palace.
Walk past the Pillar of Charles V fountain, erected in 1554 along the route that leads to the main entrance of the Alhambra. Admire the diverse architectural styles inside the grounds of the palace, such as the Islamic motifs of the courtyards and the fountains and water features of the Generalife.
