The Alhambra, the complete form of which was Calat Alhambra, is a palace and fortress complex constructed during the mid 14th century by the Moorish rulers of the Emirate of Granada in Al-Andalus, occupying the top of the hill of the Assabica on the southeastern border of the city of Granada in the Autonomous Community of Andalusia.
The Alhambra's Moorish palaces were built for the last Muslim Emirs in Spain and its court, of the Nasrid dynasty. After the Reconquista by the Reyes Católicos in 1492, some portions were used by the Christian rulers.

  • Pues han elegido al el Cristo del Corcovado como una maravilla del mundo, cuando en la realidad es tan solo una mole de cemento, eso sí asentado en un lugar privilegiado.
