Built primarily between 1238 and 1358, it was the residence of the Nasrid sultans and the pinnacle of their civilization. The Alhambra's intricate architecture and stunning gardens reflect the splendor of the Moorish culture in Spain. After the Reconquista, it became a royal court for Ferdinand and Isabella, marking a new chapter in its storied past.
