1. The Alhambra,Granada
(SPAIN)
The Alhambra, complete Arabic name was Qalat
Al-Hamra, is a palace and fortress complex
located in Granada, Andalusia, Spain. It was
originally constructed as a small fortress in AD
889 on the remains of Roman fortifications, and
then largely ignored until its ruins were renovated
and rebuilt in the mid-13th century by the Moorish
emir Mohammed ben Al-Ahmar of the emirate of
Granada, who built its current palace and walls.

3. The History of The Alhambra
●
The Alhambra was completed towards the end of Muslim rule of Spain by Yusuf I
(1333-1353) and Muhammed V, Sultan of Granada (1353-1391). It is a reflection
of the culture of the Moorish rule of Al Andalus.
● * Moorish = refers to the Muslim inhabitants in Maghreb,North Africa.
●
Ibn Nasr, the founder of the Nasrid Dynasty, was forced to flee to Jaen to
avoid persecution by King Ferdinand III of Castile and the Reconquista
supporters working to end Spain's Moorish rule. He retreated to Granada
and reconstructed the palace.
