The Alhambra | Granada, Spain

[Nolke]

The Alhambra, at the andalusian city of Granada, stands out as the most famous example of Moorish architecture, and perhaps it is the most known Muslim construction all in all.
Alhambra was started as late as 13th century, but Alhambra consists of palaces built by several rulers, each had his own. The carrying idea behind several of the buildings of Alhambra is nothing less than an attempt to create a duplica of Paradise on earth. The romantic design is made up of a mixture of slender columnar arcades, fountains, and light-reflecting water basins. Most prominent is the Lion Court
