Granada, Spain - 18 June 2015 Alhambra Palace, a place of legend, romance and history, represents the last late flowering of Islamic civilisation and culture in Al-Andalus before the Spanish Reconquista in 1492. Its courtyards and rooms are sublimely decorated in ornate carvings, tiles and arabesques. Hypnotically beautiful geometric shapes and patterns adorn every surface of this masterpiece of medieval design and architecture. Here we see its famous Lion Faountain.
