Itinerary

1

Generalife

Set of historical gardens from various periods and their palatial buildings, some from the Nasrid period.

2

Nasrid Palaces

They are the residences that the different sultans of the Nasrid period used for themselves and their court. There are three main areas, independent but connected to each other: Mexuar, Palacio de Comares and Palacio de los Leones.

3

Alcazaba

The oldest venue and therefore the first to be built. This enclosure, in addition to protecting the sultan, contained an entire miniature city to house the royal service and the sultan's guard.

4

Palace of Carlos V

The most beautiful Spanish Renaissance palace was built in the middle of the Alhambra as a symbol of victory of the empire that defeated the last Muslim kingdom on the Iberian Peninsula.

5

Palacio El Partal

We must not miss visiting the Palacio del Partal, from which it takes its name, and contemplate the pond next to it, and the Torre de las Damas, the only remains that have been preserved of it.
