Granada, Spain - 18 June 2015 The Palacio de la Madraza has had an interesting history. Starting as a medieval Madrassah, an advanced institute of Islamic learning, it then became the first city hall of Granada following the Christian Reconquista. It finally returned to its educational roots as a cultural and conference centre for the University of Granada. As can be seen here, the ornate decoration and arabesques of its rooms rival that of even the fabled Alhambra Palace, especially when transformed into even more abstract and ornate forms in Photoshop!
