Granada, the last capital of the Moorish state on the Iberian Peninsula. In 1492, the Catholic Monarchs Ferdinand and Isabella completed the Reconquista (the liberation of the territory from the Moors) by taking Granada.
Next to the Granada Cathedral is the Royal Chapel, where they were buried according to their will. At the end of the city’s main street, Avenida de Colón, there is a sculptural composition depicting the meeting of Isabella and Columbus. It was here, in Granada, that Columbus received royal permission (and funding) for his expedition. The Albaicín district is one of the most interesting places in the city.
Alhambra – a complex of palaces from different eras, which is called the eighth wonder of the world. The so-called Nasrid palaces, built during the Moorish rule from the 9th to the 15th century, and the Generalife palace are the brightest examples of Arab architecture in modern Europe.
