It was the largest political and aristocratic hub of the Muslem West. The Palace premises are made up of beautiful rectangular courtyards and numerous fountains, as well as the Nazarite buildings that served as living quarters for the monarchs and their servants. The oldest building is the Alcazaba (’the Citadel’). One of the most important structures is La Vela tower, which offers stunning views of the Alhambra. Be sure not to miss the courtyard of the Lions and its fountains is one of the most beautiful parts of the complex.
