Generalife
The gardens of the Generalife were the summer palace of the Nasrid Sultans and are a perfect example of Islamic horticulture. The harmonious combination of water, plants and architecture creates a peaceful oasis that invites you to linger
Palace of Charles V
This palace, which was built in the 16th century, stands in stark contrast to the Islamic architecture of the Alhambra. The monumental building now houses the Alhambra Museum and impresses with its circular courtyard and Renaissance architecture.
Alcazaba
The Alcazaba is the oldest fortress in the Alhambra and offers breathtaking panoramic views over the city of Granada and the surrounding mountains. From the towers of the Alcazaba, visitors can understand the strategic importance of this fortress
Mexuar
The Mexuar was the administrative wing of the Alhambra and served as a reception hall and courtroom. The ornately decorated rooms and the impressive ceiling work make this part of the Alhambra particularly worth seeing

These palaces are the centrepiece of the Alhambra and a masterpiece of Islamic architecture. They consist of several areas, including the Courtyard of the Lions (Patio de los Leones) and the Courtyard of the Myrtles (Patio de los Arrayanes), which are known for their ornate decorations and beautiful courtyards

A charming little cistern in the Albaicín that reflects the Nasrid heritage and the importance of water in Granada's traditional architecture
