The Royal Tour
The Alhambra in Granada, Spain is one of the most recognizable fortress and palace complexes in the world, built by the Muslim Caliphate that had its last bastion here.
The Alcazaba is the oldest part of the Alhambra complex, and is pretty much a pure fortress.
Elsewhere in the Alhambra, things get more ornate.
The walls and ceilings of many portions of the Alhambra are intricately carved in geometric patterns and verses from the Quran.
Perhaps the most famous spot in Granada's Alhambra is the Lion Fountain, scene here through the columns. Each lion is unique.
Water features are a central part of any Muslim palace, and the Alhambra has plenty of amazing fountains.
And of course, the Alhambra is even more beautiful at night, lighting up Granada from almost anywhere.
