Pictures from the Alhambra

The Alhambra on the edge of Granada was a palace and fortress complex for the Muslim kings of Southern Spain.

An outer wall of the Alhambra and some of the city of Granada creeping in on the left.

There were many beautiful gardens.

Haitham - translation please. :) Many intricate decorations covered the walls of the inner palaces.

The running water is a definite theme in the Muslim architecture. Many of the inner courtyards had beautiful pools of water steadily overflowing at all sides...
