Alhambra
 On
a hill overlooking Granada, the Alhambra. A sprawling palace-citadel
that comprised royal residential quarters, court complexes flanked
by official chambers, a bath, and a mosque-was begun in the thirteenth
century by Ibn al-Ahmar, founder of the Nasrid dynasty, and was
continued by his successors in the fourteenth century. The legacy
of the Muslim occupation of Spain is best preserved in Granada,
specifically at the Alhambra. This is the most dominating structure
in the city and well worth the visit.
Generalife
 This
area was the summer palace for the rulers and kings from the Nasridera.
The most impressive part of this area is the gardens and fountains.
Cool and refreshing the sound of running water, fountains, and
the view looking back on the Alhambra and the city of Granada
are spectacular.
Albaicin
 This
area is where the Moors constructed their first fortress and it
is where the last Moorish inhabitants were living until they were
expelled in the 1600s. Much of this neighborhood is a maze of
Muslim architecture, patios, and Arab baths.
