Visited it this summer. Both the palaces in Seville and Granada are amazing. This short video doesn't do justice depicting how majestic they are. I wish more people saw them instead of just visiting Barcelona and Madrid, thinking they are all Spain offers.

Visited during day and at night.. words cannot describe the wonder. My apartment on the Darro River had views of the Palace. 4 nts in 2015❤

Loved the mosaics. You have to stand sill and try to deceirn the amount of work the 100s of thousands of tiles took to arrange without modern machinery! Just magnificent!👍🏆❤️

Those designs are not carved but they are plasterworks that were stamped with a mould so they could be reproduced many times with less effort

This beautiful castle was built by Moroccans about 700 years ago

Go to Uzbekistan and see the masterpieces of the Temur Empire. You’ll know that these Moorish buildings and courtyards are like little fancy toys.

[RobertSmith]

So you just gonna omit the Muslims who built the place and just mention monarchs who stole it?

moroccan details ❤❤❤🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦 and still alive thanks to moroccans

[StephanHeinrich-gciv]

The servants definitively didn't live inside the palace(s). Besides, the camara moves to fast and hardly any detail is being "checked out"
