Review:
The Alhambra Palace complex is undoubtedly one of the most popular tourist attractions in Spain. This UNESCO World Heritage Site started off as a small fortress built on earlier Roman fortifications in 889AD. Over the centuries the complex was home to the Emirate of Granada, which was the last Muslim dynasty in Spain to be conquered by the Christians in 1492. It later became home to the royal court of Ferdinand and Isabella. As such, the complex is of enormous interest to history and architecture enthusiasts. Although it is possible to walk around the very large complex on your own, it would be far more rewarding to join a guided tour of this magnificent historic site – allow at least 2.5 hours.
