AN ENORMOUS MONUMENTAL HERITAGE

There are few cities like Granada in the world, with such jam-packed and varied history reflected so well through their streets and monuments. Granada is not a city to be seen and enjoyed in a single day. Just the historical monument complex of the Alhambra and the Generalife on its own demands a visit of several hours to take in its captivating beauty. And visitors cannot leave Granada without strolling round the jasmine-scented streets of the Moorish Albaicín quarter, and seeing the Catholic Monarch’s mausoleum inside the Royal Chapel, the Cathedral, and the Science Park, Andalusia’s most frequently visited museum.

ALBAYZIN

The Albayzin quarter is located north of the Darro river on the hill opposite the Alhambra. Its name may be derived from the Arabic Rabad el-Bayyazin "quarter of the falconers," the Bab al-Bayyazin "gate of the falconers," or it may refer to Muslims from the city of Baeza who settled in the quarter in the thirteenth-century. Steep and narrow winding streets characterise the beautiful Albayzin, which is famous for its remains of medieval houses, mosques and baths.

THE ALHAMBRA

The Alhambra Palace overlooks the city of Grenada, and stands out as the most famous example of Moorish architecture, and perhaps it is the most known Muslim construction all in all. It was started as late as 13th century, and consists of palaces built by several rulers, each had his own. The romantic design is made up of a mixture of slender columnar arcades, fountains, and light-reflecting water basins. Most prominent is the Lion Court.
