LA ALHAMBRA in English

Manuel Mateo Pérez and artist Aixa Portero explore the historical monument, a reality of water, poetry and sky

The Alhambra, one of the most spectacular heritage sites in the world, was home to the rulers of the last Hispano-Islamic dynasty. Twenty-four sultans reigned over the kingdom of Granada before its conquest by the Catholic Monarchs. Water is the lifeblood of this monumental palace complex, a source of inspiration for artists, poets and musicians over the centuries, and a must-see destination for the travellers of the Romantic Age. Its walls are inscribed with the questions and answers of a place of universal significance, a place whose endless beauty and modernity continue to surprise us today.
