The Alhambra palace was built during the years 1334-91 and was the seat of the magnificent Nasrid caliphs . The architectural beauty speaks a lot about the story behind this magnificent palace . Despite the austerity  of  the  palace’s  outward  appearance, its immaculately restored interior more closely resembles a lady’s dressing or private room.As Islam forbids images of any kind ,there are no statues or figurative paintings in the palace The complex of the Alhambra, Generalife and Albaicín forms an  unique heritage which represents the architecture that emerged during the long period of the Arab rule in Spain . The Alhambra besides the Alcazaba, includes within the city walls the Nazaríes palaces defended by the towers of Vela, Armas, Pólvora, Sultana , Homenaje, Damas, Oratorio, Picos, Cadí, Infantas, Cautiva, Siete Suelos, Agua and many others . Within the Alhambra palace complex, there are other important buildings such as the Palacio de Carlos V, a magnificent example of Renaissance architecture, designed by architect Pedro Machuca and built over the ruins of part of the previous buildings . The Palace was commissioned by Emperor Charles V so that he could admire and enjoy the spirit and wonders of the Alhambra .
