The Alhambra Castle Ruins, located in Granada, Spain, are a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most famous historical landmarks in the country. The castle was originally built in the 13th century by the Nasrid dynasty and served as a royal palace and fortress for the Muslim rulers of the Emirate of Granada. The Alhambra is known for its stunning Moorish architecture, intricate tile work, and beautiful gardens. The complex is made up of several buildings, including the Alcazaba fortress, the Nasrid Palaces, and the Generalife gardens. The Nasrid Palaces are particularly famous for their ornate decoration and intricate carvings. After the Christian Reconquista of Granada in 1492, the Alhambra fell into disrepair and was used as a military barracks. In the 19th century, efforts were made to restore and preserve the site, and it has since become one of the most popular tourist attractions in Spain. Visitors to the Alhambra can explore the ruins of the castle, wander through the beautiful gardens, and admire the stunning views of the city of Granada and the surrounding mountains. The site also houses a museum with exhibits on the history and architecture of the Alhambra.
