Review:
Located on the Cerro del Sol hill, very close to the Alhambra, the Generalife was built in the 13th century and was used as a refuge or leisure palace by the Nasrid rulers of the Emirate of Granada when they wanted a break from the rigors of office in the palace. The building and its very beautiful gardens are built on several levels and you will notice that the décor is far less elaborate than that of the Alhambra. The gardens of the Generalife have also been awarded UNESCO World Heritage status and are the best-preserved example of Moorish gardens in the whole of Spain.
