The Alhambra

One of the most brilliant jewels of universal architecture is the Alhambra, a series of palaces and gardens built under the Nazari Dynasty in the 14th C. This mighty compound of buildings – including the summer palace called Generalife, with its fountains and gardens - stands at the foot of Spain's highest mountain range, the Sierra Nevada, and overlooks the city below and the fertile plain of Granada.
A magical use of space, light, water , and decoration characterizes this brilliant piece of architecture. It is considered by some to be one of the 10 wonders of the world
