Snow Mountain Kingdom: The Last Glory of the Moors

The Alhambra Palace is located on the hills of Granada, Spain. It is an architectural treasure left by the Moors in Spain and is known as the "City of Palaces" and "Wonder of the World". 【Historical data】 The Alhambra's historical context dates back to the 13th century, when the Kingdom of Granada became the last stronghold of the Moors as their rule on the Iberian Peninsula waned. In order to demonstrate his ruling authority, King Ahmar and his successors began building the Alhambra Palace in 1238, which took more than a hundred years to complete. During the Moorish rule, this was the political and cultural center of the kingdom. In 1492, Christian forces recaptured Granada and the Alhambra was taken over by the Spanish crown. Despite changes of regimes and the passage of time, the palace's architectural style still incorporates elements of Islam, Christianity and Judaism. Tickets can be purchased on the Ctrip platform, but it is recommended to complete the reservation at least two to three weeks in advance, and be sure to arrive early, there are really too many people [Facepalm]
