Alhambra, Paperback / softback Book

Alhambra Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

The Alhambra palace complex is imposingly situated above the town of Granada, on the lower slopes of the Sierra Nevada, southern Spain.

It is the most important surviving medieval Islamic palace in the world.

Michael Jacobs takes a fresh look at this magical palace-fortress, built by the Muslim Nasrid rulers and the potent mythology that has grown up around it.

The heart of the book is a tour of the palace and the adjoining gardens of the Generalife.

The final chapter assesses the literature, art and architecture inspired by this legendary place.
