This past weekend we went to visit the Moorish Palace/Fortress The Alhambra. It was home to the Muslim rulers and is of Islamic architecture. The site dates back to the 11th century and overlooks the city of Granada.
The Alhambra is known for its tranquility with various design features using gardens and water.
Even though the architecture and design of The Alhambra were amazing, one of my favorite parts of the walking tour was The Alcazabo (the citadel). It is the oldest portion of The Alhambra and is the strong hold – take note of the cannonballs piled in one of the buttresses.
