A complex of palaces, fortresses, and gardens above Granada, it is the most significant monument of the heritage of the Emirate of Granada and is protected by UNESCO. Islamic architecture, richly decorated courtyards, fountains, and the gardens of the Generalife make it one of the most important historical landmarks in Spain.
