COMUNICACIÓN Y PRENSA

During the early modern period, the citadel of the Alhambra, which for centuries had been an emblem of the power and culture of the Nasrid Dynasty, became a symbol of the new authority of the crown of Castile, and functioned not only as a palace city and a military base, but also as a miniature city in its own right with its own productive, commercial, residential and festive structure similar to that of other cities of the time, with a substantial building trade, providing employment to a large number of stone-masons, bricklayers, carpenters, metalworkers etc who worked in the construction of the Palace of Charles V and the maintenance of the Nasrid royal houses
