Part 5/8:
The crown jewel of Granada is undoubtedly the Alhambra, an architectural masterpiece reflecting the region's Moorish heritage. Originally constructed for military purposes, it encapsulates various elements including the alcazaba (fortress), the alcazar (palace), and a medina (city). Visitors can explore key areas including the Nasrid Palaces, which served as the residences for Granadan sultans, and the lush gardens of the Generalife.
To visit the Alhambra, it’s prudent to book tickets in advance, as demand is high given its global significance and stunning beauty.
