The pinnacle of Moorish culture | Granada.

The name "Granada" means "pomegranate" in Spanish, so the pomegranate has become the emblem and symbol of Granada, and can be seen everywhere in the city. The name of the city may come from the pomegranate trees that grow everywhere in the city, or it may be another transliteration of the name Karnattah left by the Arabs. ⛺【Must-visit】: 1. The Alhambra is the palace of the Granada Kingdom established by the Moors in Spain in the Middle Ages. After the Moors were expelled from Spain in 1492, the building began to be abandoned. It was not until 1828 that long-term repairs and reconstruction began, and the original appearance was restored. The Alhambra is divided into five groups of buildings, the most essential part of which is the Nasrid Palace. Climbing up the watchtower at the westernmost end, you can overlook the entire city of Granada centered on the cathedral. 2. Albaicin is an Arab-style area in Granada, Andalusia, which retains narrow and winding Moorish streets from the Middle Ages. It was listed as a World Heritage Site together with the Alhambra. The Alhambra has a clear view of the entire Albaicin area. The St. Nicholas Watchtower is the highest point in the area and the best place to enjoy the entire area. 3. Granada Cathedral is one of the oldest and earliest churches established on the peninsula in Western Christianity. Granada Cathedral was built on the foundation of the original mosque. It was built in 1523 and was not completed until 1704. Originally planned to build a Gothic cathedral, but changed to Renaissance style during construction. Every brick and tile in the church reveals the architectural imprint of different periods, the decoration details are subtle, and the fusion with colored glass is even more unique. 🛬【Travel Tips】: Many people come to Granada because of the Alhambra, but it has a rich cultural heritage and is worth a visit. It is recommended to stay in Granada for one night, and you can also visit Seville and Ronda nearby. 🧡【Tips】: You must! Must! Buy tickets for the Alhambra in advance
