Setting. Landscape. Alhambra of Granada
The monumental complex of the Alhambra was built over the years and developed around existing buildings .
Landscape
The Alhambra is situated atop the Sabikah Hill, between the Darro and Genil rivers. It is surrounded by mountains. Arab writers compared Granada to a crown, with the diadem of the Alhambra on top.
The Alhambra is unique for its architectural wealth, which blends in well with the city, and its spectacular landscape.
The landscape and architectural wealth of the Alhambra can be especially appreciated in the Albaycin district (Saint Nicholas Observation Point) or from Sacromonte, where you can feel the close relationship between the Alhambra, the surrounding countryside and the city of Granada.
