Still continuing to explore the most #beautiful and famous sight of #Granada - the Alhambra palace. Alhambra's Islamic palaces were built for the last Muslim emirs in #Spain and the court of the Nasrid dynasty. After the conquest of #Granada by the Reyes Católicos ("Catholic Monarchs") in 1492, some portions were used by Christian rulers. The Palace of Charles V, built by Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor in 1527, was inserted in the Alhambra within the Nasrid fortifications. After being allowed to fall into disrepair for centuries, the buildings being occupied by squatters, #Alhambra was rediscovered in the 19th century by European scholars and travelers, with restorations commencing. It is now one of Spain's major tourist attractions, exhibiting the country's most significant and well known Islamic architecture, together with 16th-century and later Christian building and garden interventions. Alhambra is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the inspiration for many songs and stories. Moorish poets described it as "a pearl set in emeralds," an allusion to the colour of its buildings and the woods around them. The palace complex was designed with the mountainous site in mind and many forms of technology were considered. @Livehotels by ivan_5ive http://ift.tt/1qDKjz5 #Follow #RT #TeamFollowBack via Annuaire des voyageurs http://ift.tt/1wHipF1
