The Pillar of Emperor Charles V, Alhambra, Granada, Spain, 2007. Artist: Samuel Magal
The Pillar of Emperor Charles V, Alhambra, Granada, Spain, 2007. The Alhambra is a palace and fortress complex of the Moorish rulers of Granada in southern Spain, occupying a hilly terrace on the southeastern border of the city of Granada. Once the residence of the Muslim rulers of Granada and their court, the Alhambra is now one of Spain's major tourist attractions exhibiting the country's most famous Islamic architecture, together with Christian 16th century and later interventions in buildings and gardens that marked its image as it can be seen today. Alhambra was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1984.
