Alhambra - Granada

(From Wikipedia)
The Alhambra (Arabic: الحمراء = Al-Ħamrā'; literally "the red") is a palace and fortress complex of the Moorish monarchs of Granada, in southern Spain (known as Al-Andalus when the fortress was constructed), occupying a hilly terrace on the south-eastern border of the city of Granada.

Trivia Alhambra - Granada :)
  • there are 3 main sections :the Alcazaba (fortress), the Palacio Nazarie (Nasarids Palace) and Palacio de Carlos V in addition to the Generalife (Gardens of Alhambra)
  • the palace and the gardens of Alhambra were truly designed having a picture of heaven in mind.
    جَزَاؤُهُمْ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ جَنَّاتُ عَدْنٍ تَجْرِي مِن تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا أَبَدًا رَّضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ وَرَضُوا عَنْهُ ذَلِكَ لِمَنْ خَشِيَ رَبَّهُ {8}
    [Shakir 98:8] Their reward with their Lord is gardens of perpetuity beneath which rivers flow, abiding therein for ever; Allah is well pleased with them and they are well pleased with Him; that is for him who fears his Lord......
  • hence, there are lots of fountains..dan jugak tunnel2 (tunnelkah?) air mengalir
  • Wala Ghalib-u-Il’Allah” is the verse dominating the walls of the palace along with other verses and poetry praising Allah. Attention to details is an understatement.
  • mungkin bila masuk kita terpesona dgn ukiran..seni-seni dan sebagainya. Tapi sebenarnya obsesi terhadap ukiran2 dan keindahan inilah antara faktor yg menyumbang kepada kejatuhan Alhambra..
