Night at the moorish fortress The Alhambra fortress, "The red one" as its name translate, is a formidable building and part of the former royal palace. The larger palace complex stretches over most of the Sabika hill, an outcrop of the Sierra Nevada mountain range. It gives a great outlook and easy defendable position for the Granada city and surroundings. Built in its current version in 1238CE after the fall of the Cordoba emirate to the north, its site had fortifications and buildings dating back centuries. The Nasrid emirate lasted until the newly unified Spanish kingdom conquered in the 1490s. It was the last moorish andalusian kingdom in Iberia. It was at this new Spanish royal court Christopher Columbus got his royal approval to go west with his 3 ships of prison inmates. And accidentally rediscover the American continent for Europe. Alhambra fall into disrepair after the Spanish reneissance. But it was saved by the birth of tourism. After the french napoleonic campaigns, were Alhambra was part of the massive pointless destruction by the french in Spain, scientists and early tourist explorers told about the splendid palace in Sierra Nevada. The fortress, palace and surrounding medieval city got popular, was cleaned up and renovated and later added to the Unesco list of World Cultural Heritage. As a name, it is written and pronounced several ways:The Alhambra, [/ælˈhæmbrə/], Spanish: [aˈlambɾa]; Arabic: الْحَمْرَاء, romanized: Al-Ḥamrāʾ, pronounced [alħamˈraːʔ]. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alhambra #nightphotography #architecture #moorish #medieval #castle #fortress #albayzin #village #2011CE #hill #worldculturalheritage #islam #art (at Granada La Alhambra Y El Albaicin) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cbif1D9gj1v/?utm_medium=tumblr
