What makes Complete Alhambra with tour guide – Avoid individual queues a unique experience ?
Without a doubt, the Nasrid Palaces are the jewel of the Alhambra. They were built at different times by the Kings of Granada.
– El Mexuar: Built by Ismail I. It is the oldest palace in the complex. It has undergone more modifications than any other. Inside we find a beautiful oratory with the Albaicín neighborhood in the background.
– Comares Palace: Built by Yusuf I. A powerful 46 meter tower that is reflected in a large pond surrounded by a marble floor. Inside, the Hall of the Ambassadors where the Nasrid power and the Sultan’s throne were centralized. On its ceiling there is a spectacular representation of the 7 heavens and the paradise of Islam.
– Palace of the Lions: Built by Mohamed V. Inside the Palace we have 4 spaces: the Mocárabes Room, the Abencerrajes Room, the Kings Room and the Two Sisters Room. In the center, the famous Fountain of the Lions, icon of the Alhambra.
– El Partal: Surrounded by gardens and a large pool.
The first part of the Alhambra built, by its founder Mohamed I “Al-hamar” in the first half of the Xlll century.
An impregnable fortress, where we can access three of its towers:
– Torre del Cubo: Looking at the Darro Valley, from which we get spectacular views of the Albaicín and Sacromonte.
-Torre de las Armas: With an unbeatable view of the Cathedral, the center of Granada and La Vega.
– Torre de la Vela: The most famous and from which we have 360º views of the entire city, including a sublime panoramic view of the Sierra Nevada.
In the center of the fortress, the military or military neighborhood, where around 13 families lived. Today the foundations of the houses and some ruins of what were once a royal baths are preserved.
The Generalife houses the best example of a Nasrid garden in Europe that has survived to this day. Its Arabic name means “Garden of the Architect”.
It consists of two elements:
– The Generalife Palace:
It was used as a vacation residence for the Sultan, and here he retired to spend Ramadan.
Inside we find the private rooms of the Patio de la Alberca, Patio de la Sultana, Salón Regio, and Mirador de Ismail.
– The Generalife Gardens:
Where we find a great variety of flowers, crops and plants. Which are watered with the waters of the Acequia Real.
It was ordered to be built by Emperor Carlos V. Created to act as a prelude to the Nasrid Palaces.
Its imposing Renaissance style stands out in the middle of the Nasrid palatine city.
It was built by Pedro de Machuca, who trained in Italy with names like Michelangelo and Raphael. Upon his death, his son Luis de Machuca continued with the works.
The peculiarity of this palace is that it is circular on the inside and square on the outside. It has a total of 64 columns, for its construction it was necessary to open a door (the Puerta de los Carros) in the Arab wall, to introduce the columns and materials.
