Alhambra

<nil>

The Paseo de los Cipreses, following the Paseo de las Adelfas, is a path surrounded by cypresses that leads to the exit, built in the first third of the 20th century. On the occasion of the paving of the Paseo de los Nogales, a section of the Nasrid Acequia Real, near its entrance to the Alhambra through the water tower, has recently been discovered and made suitable for public visits.

5

Torre del agua

Rising majestically next to the Generalife, the Water Tower stands as a silent testament to the Alhambra's ingenious water management. Unlike its defensive companions, this tower did not seek to repel enemies, but rather to embrace a vital resource: the water of the Darro River.

6

Gate of the Seven Floors

On the walk along the outside of the Alhambra wall there are several towers and a gate: the Gate of the Seven Floors, one of the four exterior gates of the enclosure. This door gave access to the upper area of ​​the Medina of the Alhambra, an area of ​​the palace city with a fundamentally artisanal character. Built in the 14th century on a previous one, it was partially destroyed, like this entire sector of the wall, by the blowing up of Napoleonic troops in their retreat from the fortress in 1812. The door could be rebuilt in the sixties of the last century, thanks to the compilation of old engravings and photographs. The circular bastion located in front of it is the protagonist of one of Washington Irving's "Tales of the Alhambra".

Generalife

Imagine a place where water flows in harmony with architecture, where the vibrant colors of flowers contrast with the serene whiteness of limestone, and where the breeze whispers stories of a glorious past. That place is the Generalife, the jewel in the crown of the Alhambra in Granada. A summer palace for the Nasrid sultans, today converted into an oasis of peace and beauty that will captivate you from the first moment.
