• After successive conquests of the Roman province of Hispania Baetica by the Vandals and Visigoths, in the 5th and 6th centuries, the city was taken by the Moors in 712 and became an important center in Muslim Andalusia.

• view from Castelo de Gibralfaro @ Malaga.
• The castle was constructed as a fortress to defend the Alcazaba against the spread of artillery use. The fortification includes the defensive devices of a large flanking tower, a rampart perimeter adapted to the terrain by zigzaging walls and an angled gateway

Cordoba

Córdoba (Arabic: قرطبة [Qurtuba], in English: Cordova) is a city in Andalucía, southern Spain, and the capital of the province of Córdoba. Located at 37.88° North, 4.77° West, on the Guadalquivir river, it was founded in ancient Roman times as Corduba by Claudius Marcellus. Its population is 321,164 as of 2005.

Today a moderately-sized modern city, the old town contains many impressive architectural reminders of when Córdoba was the thriving capital of the Caliphate of Córdoba that governed almost all of the Iberian peninsula. It has been estimated that Córdoba, with up to 500,000 inhabitants in the tenth century, was the largest city in Western Europe and, perhaps, in the world.

Trivia Cordoba :)

• Places of attraction - Mezquita (the mosque) and Medina Azahara
• Mezquita- has some truly beautiful features among them are the famous rows of two-tier arches in mesmerizing stripes of red brick an white stone, and the more elaborate arches and domes around the Mihrab. The Mihrab is stunningly beautiful with Quranic scriptures still left to be seen
• The Ruins of Madinat al-Zhara (in Arabic: Madinat al-Zahra, مدينة الزهراء) are located about 5 kilometers from Córdoba, Spain. kenape THE RUINS? sebab most parts of the building are ruined and has been rebuit. tapi sbb cost dier terlalu tinggi, they couldn't rebuild the whole place. cuma certain2 places. info from wiki:

The ruins were discovered about ninety years ago. Only about 10 percent of the 112 ha site has been excavated and restored. The city flourished for approximately 80 years. It had been built by Abd ar-Rahman III the Caliph of Córdoba starting between 936 and 940. After Abd ar-Rahman III proclaimed himself Caliph in 929, establishing the independent Umayyad Caliphate in the west, he decided to show his subjects and the world his power by building a palace-city 5 miles from Cordoba . The largest known city built from scratch in Western Europe , Madinat al-Zahra was the forgotten Versailles of the middle ages. It would be described by travelers from northern Europe and from the East as a dazzling series of palaces full of treasures never seen before. Around 1010, Madinat al-Zahra was sacked during the civil war that led to the dissolution of the Caliphate of Cordoba.^[1] The raid effectively wiped the city off the map for a millennium.

in Mezquita. Catholicism berleluasa =(

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..
