Visit Spain’s impeccable medieval palace, Spain

Primarily built between 1238 and 1358, the Alhambra in Granada, Spain is part fortress, palace, impeccably manicured gardens and enclosed walled town, all in one.

Set atop two hills, it forms the medieval part of Grenada as the only preserved palatine city from the Islamic period. One of the finest examples of Nasrid art in architectural and decorative aspects, it’s one of the top attractions in the country, which means you’ll need to book a tour well in advance to explore the royal chambers, serene courtyards, Moorish and renaissance palaces.
