The palace was built by the Moorish kings in 12th century when they reigned over Spain. The best thing I liked about the Alhambra was the lush gardens and fountains.
The city of Granada from the Alhambra.
Palacios Nazaries
The carved wall with Arabic characters
Patio de Los Arrayanes (Court of the Myrtles)
Patio de los Leones (Patio of the Lions). No lions here as it was being restored, really.
The honeycomb ceiling of Sala de Dos Hermanas (Hall of Two Sisters)
Very beautiful carving of the wall and ceiling
Garden inside the palace
Roof of a sauna room
Palacio del Generalife
This was built as the summer residence for the royal family.
Patio de la Acequia (Patio of the Irrigation Ditch), the name didn't sound good at all. :)
Palacio Carlos V
This palace was added later when the Emperor of Spain took over the reign. You could see the building was not in Arabian style anymore.
Church of Santa Maria outside the palace
