The Alhambra receives its name from its red color and is located on a hill in Granada, Spain, providing strategic views of the entire city. The architects focused on decorating every space, as they believed that more decoration was always better. Some of the notable parts of the Alhambra include the Court of Lions, known for its fountain with 12 lions, the Court of Myrtles named for its myrtle bushes and central pond, and the Patio of the Wrought Iron Grille featuring an iron grille on the southern wall.
