320***98Although the ticket is much more expensive than the official sale, it is worth it to buy the next day's ticket. When the weather is good, it is absolutely extraordinary to go to the Alhambra. It is recommended to reserve enough time to visit slowly.

深圳小老吴The exterior is magnificent and rugged, but the interior is exquisite and magnificent. There is no Islamic architectural style, but a thorough Catholic church style. The Catholic Tomb of the Two Kings is next to the chapel, which requires additional tickets to visit.

Walking in the corridor, the cute lions are naive, the various stone carvings are exquisite and complex, and the regular buildings are elegant and majestic...

薄雾如沙The Alhambra Palace is divided into four major areas, one of which is the Henri Lorefi Garden, commonly known as the "Summer Palace". It was built in the 13th century and renovated by King Abu I Walid Ismail. It is designed to trim flowers and trees in various geometric shapes, stacked around two courtyards, and the courtyards are connected by canals. The canal adopts the commonly used Arabic rectangle, with a row of water nozzles on each side. When the gate is opened, the water column forms an arch, and the water droplets sparkle in the sun, creating a cool and refreshing atmosphere. This explains why kings of all dynasties like to spend the summer here.
85.0/5旅の径Among all the buildings in the Alhambra Palace, the Carlos V Palace is a unique one with a unique origin, style and name. In 1526, King Carlos I of Spain and his new wife went to the Alhambra Palace for their honeymoon. They were overwhelmed by the beauty of the palace and were filled with envy and jealousy. They ordered to build a palace of their own next to it. Michelangelo's student, architect Pedro Mashuca, presided over the design and construction. After 30 years (1527-1557), when the palace was initially built, Carlos I found that it was completely unable to surpass the exquisite Islamic sculptures and the ingenious interior layout of the Moors around it, so he abandoned it and eventually let it go. . Although the king looked down on it, it was a classic building of the Spanish Renaissance. Looking down from a high altitude, the magnificent momentum is shocking. The outer square is a huge cube with a height of 17 meters and a side length of 63 meters, which is the largest single building in the Alhambra area. On the stone exterior wall, the strong square stone, the flamboyant copper rings and the exquisite carvings complement each other, showing the royal style. The inner circle is an open-air circular courtyard with a diameter of 30 meters, located in the middle, spacious and bright; the 32 surrounding stone pillars support the 2-story 12-meter-wide circular colonnade, which is elegant and magnificent... Many Chinese tourists take the name of the Carlos V Palace literally and think that it is the palace built by King Carlos V of Spain for himself, but it is not the case. King Carlos I of Spain is King Charles V of the Roman Empire; the name of the Carlos V Palace adopts the name of the King of Spain + the title of the King of the Roman Empire; the palace was built by King Carlos I for himself but he never lived in it.

Later generations called them the "Spanish Catholic Kings". It can be said that Spain became a powerful country that dominated the world after the 15th century, and the Catholic Kings played a great role.
