The Alhambra Fortress from the owners direct

The Alhambra fortress is an incredible piece of architecture where the OWNERS DIRECT have had control over the construction from the 9th century until the 16th century when King Charles V built his palace inside the fortress walls. 142,000 square metres of plateau with a wall that surrounds the top and 13 towers either used for defensive purposes or for the inhabitants to sightsee. It’s more than just a palace; it’s a marvel of Muslim architecture and design from the Nasrid dynasty with fountains, columns and beautiful pieces of art decorating the walls.
