The Alhambra is a fortress and palace of the ancient Moorish leaders of Granada, pre-dating the Roman Catholic reign. Considered one of the most beautiful palaces in Spain, an icon of Andalucia, and the soul of Granada, the Alhambra was declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco in 1984 and has become one of the most visited ancient sites in Europe.<\/p>

The monumental complex atop a cliff overlooking the city was built over 120 years between 1238 and 1358 by consecutive rulers of the Nasrid dynasty. The decorative stucco, tiles, pools, and fountains are a masterpiece of Islamic architecture; each space and garden revealing an intriguing history.<\/p>

Within the complex, you can visit the Alcazaba, the oldest part of the Alhambra, along with the Nasrid palaces: the Mexuar, the Comares palace, and the Palace of the Lions. The Generalife is set outside the walls of the Alhambra and was built as a country estate featuring several stunning gardens.<\/p>

Once Granada\u2019s Moorish rule fell to the Christian conquerors, work began on Spain\u2019s first Renaissance cathedral in 1518, to establish the seat of the Archdiocese of Granada. The carved walls, pillared nave with a checkered marble floor and 265 foot bell tower are all open to visitors.<\/p>

The cathedral\u2019s interior<\/strong> is ornately decorated and contrasts with the Islamic architecture found in the older parts of the city. The towering facade is largely the work of Granadino architect and artist Alonso Cano, who was responsible for the cathedral\u2019s baroque features when he took over its design in 1652.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The Royal Chapel, or Capilla Real as it\u2019s locally known, was a later addition to Granada\u2019s cathedral. It was built as a mausoleum for the Catholic monarchs Ferdinand and Isabella, who lie in state behind a wrought-iron grille.<\/p>

You can buy tickets for the chapel or get a combined ticket with a visit to the Cathedral and other monuments, such as the Carthusian Monastery.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Take a step back in time to the days of Moorish rule with a visit to the city\u2019s oldest neighborhood, the former Arabic quarter of Albaic\u00edn.

Federico Garc\u00eda Lorca is one of Spain\u2019s most revered writers and poets of the 20th Century. The birthplace and home of the author of Andalusian works, including gypsy ballads, Centro Federico Garc\u00eda Lorca, is an elegant townhouse, where visitors can see a revealing collection of sketches, documents, and photographs that belonged to the writer.<\/p>

Lorca was murdered during Spain\u2019s civil war in 1936. His exact burial spot remains a mystery, but it\u2019s thought to lie somewhere outside the city\u2019s official cemetery\u2019s boundaries. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
