Alhambra: Waiting room

One of the Many many rooms of the Nazrid Palace in the Alhambra palace! How many stars can you count?

The palace is absolutely magnificent, but sadly the strict time they let you in there, and the amount of people that they let in, ruins the experience, in fact it felt like the complete opposite of what the original builders meant it for.

A shot of the Nasrid palace gardens and over view of the old city beside.

"in the 11th century the Castle of the Alhambra was developed as a walled town which became a military stronghold that dominated the whole city. But it was in the 13th century, with the arrival of the first monarch of the Nasrid dynasty, Mohammed I ibn Nasr (Mohammed I, 1238–1273), that the royal residence was established in the Alhambra. This marked the beginning of its heyday. The Alhambra became palace, citadel and fortress, and was the residence of the Nasrid sultans and their senior officials, including servants of the court and elite soldiers (13th-14th centuries)."
