The Alhambra is an ancient palace, fortress and citadel located in Granada, Spain. The eighth-century-old site was named for the reddish walls and towers that surrounded the citadel: al-qal’a al-hamra in Arabic means red fort or castle. It’s the only surviving palatine city (a royal territorial center) of the Islamic Golden Age and a remnant of the Nasrid Dynasty, the last Islamic kingdom in Western Europe.
The complex is irregular in shape and surrounded by defensive walls. In all, the Alhambra spans nearly 26 acres, with more than a mile of walls, 30 towers and numerous smaller structures.
In 1829, American author Washington Irving took up residence at the Alhambra. He wrote and published Tales of the Alhambra, a collection of essays and stories about the palatial city.
In 2009, on the 150th anniversary of Irving’s death, managers of the Alhambra erected a statue of the writer in a park outside of the palace to commemorate his role in introducing Western audiences to the historical site and Spain’s Islamic history.
The Alhambra remains one of the most beautiful historical sites in Spain and is visited each year by thousands of tourists from around the world.
