out of 5

The Alhambra is a palace and fortress complex located in Granada, Andalusia, southern Spain. It was originally constructed as a small fortress in the 8th century and was enlarged by the Nasrid dynasty in the 13th century. The palace was used by the Muslim rulers of Granada as a royal residence and as a court of law. After the Reconquista of Granada by the Catholic Monarchs in 1492, the Alhambra became a palace of the Christian kings.

The Alhambra is one of the most visited tourist attractions in Spain, with over 2.3 million visitors in 2016. It was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1984.
