The Alhambra, in Granada, Spain, is a complex consisting of both Moorish and Roman palaces. The tour takes about three hours and is very interesting. I particularly liked the Moorish architecture. Very beautiful! Historical records indicate that the Alhambra dates from the 9th century AD.
These photos show only a small portion of what can be seen on a tour of the Alhambra. It is a very interesting complex to visit. If you are in Granada, this is one tour not to be missed!
