Alhambra, Granada, Spain.
The King's Hall - detail.
The architectural complex of the Alhambra, the work of the Nasrids, was built on one of the hills overlooking the city and can be dated from 1238 to 1492.
It has undergone various transformations over the centuries, due to the dynasties that have followed one another. The monumental complex is basically made up of three distinct parts.
-The Alcazaba (the fortress) which had defensive functions.
Its construction dates back to the reign of Mohamed I (1232-1273), who ordered the construction of the main walls and three towers: the Torre de la Vela, Torre Quebrada and Torre del Homenaje.
-The Nasrid Palaces, consisting of two independent palaces, the Palazzo de Comares and the Palace of the Lions, as well as the annexed Mexuar, served as luxurious homes for the reigning sultans.
Chronologically they were built after the Alcabaza, the Generalife and the Partal starting from the first thirty years of the 14th century.
-The Generalife Palace and gardens extend to the edge of the Alhambra walls. The ancient palace was built between the 12th and 14th centuries. Later, in the 15th century, it was enlarged and renovated by the Genoese family of the Grimaldi Pallavicini.
It became state-owned (and associated with the Alhambra complex as a national monument) at the beginning of the 20th century.
Alhambra has been part of UNESCO - a World Heritage Site - since 1984

Live amongst people in such a manner that if you die they weep over you and if you are alive they crave for your company.
If you overpower your enemy, then pardon him by way of thankfulness to Allah, for being able to subdue him.
