What is alambra?

Alhambra is a palace and fortress complex located in Granada, Andalusia, Spain. It was built during the mid-14th century by the Moorish rulers of the Emirate of Granada and served as the residence of the Nasrid dynasty until the Reconquista in 1492. Its name comes from the Arabic word "al-Qal’at al-Hamra", meaning "Red Castle". The Alhambra overlooks the city of Granada and includes several palaces, a mosque, gardens, and courtyards all connected by a network of corridors and passages. The artwork inside the palace is a mix of Islamic and Christian influences, with intricate tilework, stucco, and wood carvings. The complex is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a major tourist attraction in Spain.
