The Alhambra is a must !
Alhambra – The most magnificent of Moorish castles. As the seat of the Nasrid dynasty in the emirate of Granada, the Alhambra complex was the height of learning and civilisation during the Moorish reign there between roughly the 11th and 15th centuries. With well-preserved remnants of the military fortifications, the royal Nasrid palace and the stunning Generalife gardens (as well as some later Christian additions), the Alhambra is one of Spain’s principal tourist attractions and a UNESCO World Heritage site. A must see! Book tickets in advance as entrance to the palace is strictly limited.

La Mezquita – Along with the Alhambra in Granada, the Mezquita was the other Andalucían capital of Moorish culture and learning, housing the biggest library in the world at the time. The Mezquita “Mosque-Cathedral” is also a UNESCO World Heritage site owing to its important history. Originally a Roman temple, the Christian Visigoths built a church on its remains; in 711 the conquering Moors split it into Muslim and Christian halves until in 784 the ruling caliph demolished the building and rebuilt a grand Mosque on the site. More than 700 years later, the Catholic Kings converted the structure once again into a church. The result today is an idiosyncratic mix of Christian and Muslim elements, with the Catholic cathedral seemingly plopped into the centre of a decidedly Arabic, Muslim structure with its internal forest of pillars and arches.
