The country offers more than 50 attractive UNESCO-certified World Heritage Sites for tourists to enjoy.
Let’s take a sneak peek and enjoy some visual/animated glimpses of the country’s most visited sites!
PLACES TO VISIT
Alhambra
Built by the Nasrid Dynasty, the Alhambra stretches to 26-35 acres, including Alcazaba (barracks for the elite guards), Medina (city), and the Generalife (the palace and gardens). Inscriptions of the Quran beautify the walls of the monumental area. And the hydraulic and cooling systems ensure an ambient and gratifying atmosphere for the tourists.
It’s a definite go-to place for everyone!
THE PICTURE STORY
Comares Palace
¡Qué bellaza! Lined with myrtle bushes, the court is known for its symmetry and geometric harmony!
Being the center of political power in the Nasrid court, the Hall of the Ambassadors is lined with zellij tilework and inscriptions, reflecting Islamic calligraphy as its finest!
Sala de la Barca (Hall of the Boat) faced a fire incident in 1890, but was fully repaired. With its rich stucco, it serves as a waiting room for guests.
N.B. The name with ‘boat’ has nothing to do with the architecture!
Offering a golden hue from its decorations, the Golden Room showcases a mastery of woodcraft and polychrome painting. It is a room between the Mexuar and the Comores Palace.
Palace of the Lions
A masterpiece of Moorish art with twelve marble-designed lions, poetry, and calligraphy. It is a symbol of paradise, described by Islam and Christianity, with four rivers flowing.
The Mexuar
Also known as the Mashwar, the Mexuar was the audience hall for the Sultan. It offers the rare combination of Islamic architectural style with Christian modifications.
Generalife Gardens
There’s no other place in Grenada to enjoy peace of mind than the Generalife. Divided into four terraced gardens, a residential area, and a meadow, it is one of the oldest gardens in Europe.
