Built in the beautiful hills of Granada, the Alhambra was originally designed as a fortress complex but was later converted into a Palace. Its allure was evident to the Emirs who chose it as their royal abode, marking the final Muslim rule under the Nasrid Dynasty before the Catholic Monarchs' Reconquest in 1492. The struggle to relinquish it was evident; its majestic design earned it UNESCO's World Heritage status and inspired countless songs, stories, and poems.
Our Alhambra Private Tour delves into this vibrant history, unraveling tales of architecture, rulers, intense power struggles, and poignant love stories.
