- The Alcazaba
The Alcazaba is the primitive nucleus of the Alhambra Palace of Granada. It is a fortress ordered built by Muhammad ben Alhamr, the first Nazari king.
The Alcazaba is a military area filled with strong walls and towers, fountains, shops, and horse stables. the complex organization that this area still hold gives us an idea of how the Alcazaba functioned as an independent city. A plaque with verses from poet Francisco de Icaza adorns the Torre de la Polvora talks of the beauty of this place: "Give them alms, woman, for there is nothing sadder in life as the pity for the man who is blind in Granada."
