Description
Facade of Comares, Alhambra de Granada, Spain.
Vertical view of the entrance court to the Palace of Comares and the Mexuar, the sultan's reception hall. This would be the first and probably only court any visitor would see in the whole complex.
Built around 1350 AD, the Hall of the Two Sisters in the Alhambra is one of the most spectacular palace halls in the whole world, taken directly from the Arabian Nights. Should you turn around, you would see the famous fountain of the court of the lions not ten yards away.
A place of breathtaking beauty, preserved by the wisdom of a Sultan who was later labelled a coward for surrendering the fortress before it was utterly destroyed in a fight he could not possibly win. I for one am grateful.
