Overview: The history of the Alhambra is linked with Granada. On a rocky hill, on the banks of the River Darro, protected by mountains and amongst the oldest quarters in the city, the Alhambra rises up like an imposing castle with reddish stones on its ramparts that prevent the outside world from seeing the delicate beauty they enclose. Originally designed as a military area, the Alhambra became the residence of royalty and the court of Granada in the middle of XIII century. Throughout the XIII, XIV and XV centuries the fortress became a citadel which housed 2 main areas: the military area (or Alcazaba) and the medina (or court city) where the Charles V Palace was built after the city was taken by the Catholics. The complex of monuments also have an independent palace opposite the Alhambra; The Generalife, which is surrounded by orchards and beautiful gardens.
