GRANADA/alhambra panoramic - a photo on Flickriver

            El Albaicín/Andalucía/Spain (The Alhambra (Red Castle), on the top of the hill of al-Sabika, has a strategic position, which dominates the entire city, suggests that buildings existed before the arrival of Muslims.

 Its complex, completely walled, has an irregular shape limited and there is evidence of it for the first time in the ninth century, when in 889 Sawwar ben Hamdun had to take refuge in the Alcazaba and repair it due to the civil strife that hit the Cordovan Caliphate, to which Granada belonged. Later, this enclosure began to expand and to be populated, although not until what would be later, since the first zirid monarchs fixed their residence in what later would be the Albaicín.

Despite the addition of the Alhambra castle to the city walls in the 11th century, which made it a military fortress from which the entire city was dominated, it was not until the 13th century with the arrival of the first monarch nazarí, Mohamed ben Al-Hamar (Mohamed I, 1238-1273) when the royal residence would be established in the Alhambra. This fact marked the beginning of its period of greatest splendor...)
