Alhambra tour and Carmen de los Martires
The Alhambra, a Hispano-Muslim city, stands as one of the most impressive examples of Nasrid architecture and art in Spain. Located on Sabika Hill in a magical setting, it attracts 2.7 million visitors each year.
Built in the 13th century by the Nasrids, the Alhambra served not only as a royal residence but also as a symbol of the power and wealth of the Kingdom of Granada. The word "Alhambra" comes from the Arabic "Qalat al-Hamra," meaning "red castle." Over the years, the complex has undergone various transformations, especially after the conquest by the Catholic Monarchs in 1492.
The Carmen de los Mártires was an extensive network of dungeons and today houses the most spectacular gardens in the city of Granada, covering 8 hectares.
