The Alhambra

A grown-up reads you the short text; the longer one you read yourself.

The Alhambra is a magnificent palace upon the hills of Granada, with flowing fountains and walls adorned with beautiful calligraphy.

The Alhambra is an enchanting royal palace-fortress in Granada built by the Nasrid sultans. It is famous for the Court of the Lions with its graceful marble columns, the lush flowing gardens of the Generalife, and plaster walls carved with Arabic poetry, Qur'anic verses, and the motto 'There is no victor but God'.
