Il programma nel dettaglio

The palatial complex of the Alhambra is one of the most visited buildings in the world, as you can see with this unforgettable tour. This succession of beautiful palaces perched on a high hill overlooking the city is the culmination of centuries of Islamic art and architecture in Muslim Spain, the flourishing of an exclusive syncretic culture. Thanks to this guided tour you will know the different palaces and courtyards. The Alhambra is located on a hill that was practically inaccessible at the time, overlooking the oldest neighborhoods of the city and the valley of the Darro River. In its original construction, dating from the year 899, the complex was destined to be a fortress, but later Yusuf I, Sultan of Granada, turned it into a Royal Palace. The expert guide will show you the palatial complex with its Harem, the Patio de los Arrayanes, also known as the Patio de la Alberca that was used to cool buildings in the hot summers, the magnificent Hall of Ambassadors and the fantastic Patio de los Leones and the Hall of Abencerrajes.
