Activity itinerary

Pilar de Carlos V
  • 5m
The Pillar of Charles V (Pilar de Carlos V), located in the grounds of the Alhambra in Granada, is a masterpiece of the Spanish Renaissance, more specifically of the Granada style.
Puerta de la Justicia
  • 10m
The Gate of Justice (Bab al-Sharia in Arabic, or Gate of the Esplanade) is one of the most important and monumental entrances to the Alhambra complex in Granada, a true icon of Nasrid architecture.
Puerta del Vino
  • 5m
The Wine Gate is one of the oldest and most notable buildings in the Alhambra, notable for its central location and rich decoration, which marks the transition between the military zone (the Alcazaba) and the palatine zone (the Medina).
Plaza de los Aljibes
  • 10m
The Plaza de los Aljibes is located at the foot of the Alcazaba and is one of the focal points of the Alhambra, serving as a viewing point from which to contemplate the Albaicín and Sacromonte areas, both declared World Heritage Sites by UNESCO.
Palace of Carlos V
  • 10m
The Palace of Charles V is one of the most emblematic and, at the same time, most striking buildings within the monumental complex of the Alhambra in Granada. This Renaissance palace, commissioned by Emperor Charles V (Charles I of Spain) after his visit in 1526, is famous for its unique architecture.
Church of Santa Maria de la Alhambra
  • 5m
Its main unique feature is that it was built on the foundations of the Great Mosque of the Alhambra, the main temple of the Nasrid medina. (Under availability)
Bano del Polinario
  • 10m
The Polinario Bath, also known as the Bath of Mohammed III or the Bath of the Mosque, is a historic Arab bath (hammam) that is part of the Medina of the Alhambra. (Under availability)
Bosque de La Alhambra
  • 10m
The Alhambra Forest, also known as the Alhambra Forest Walk, is the large green space that surrounds and accompanies the climb to the hill where the Nasrid monument stands. The Bib Rambla Gate (Puerta del Arenal) was part of Granada's wall and was one of the main gateways into the city from the large suburb where markets and jousts were held (present-day Plaza de Bib-Rambla). Its nickname, the "Arch of the Ears," is due to the custom of displaying the amputated limbs of criminals there. Demolition: At the end of the 19th century (1884), the gate was demolished by the City Council, despite opposition from intellectuals who sought to protect it. Reconstruction: Its remains were preserved and, decades later, between 1933 and 1935, the Alhambra's restoration architect, Leopoldo Torres Balbás, rebuilt it stone by stone in its current location, integrated into the Alhambra Forest.
Carmen de los Martires
  • 30m
Nasrid Period: The land was originally known as "Campo de Abahul" or "Corral de los Cautivos," used by the Arabs to imprison Christian prisoners who, according to tradition, suffered martyrdom there. Its name derives from this past. Furthermore, underground silos existed, used to store supplies for the Alhambra. Covering more than 7 hectares, the gardens are a magnificent example of 19th-century Romantic gardening, blending various influences: ·French Garden (Baroque) ·English Garden also known as the Palm Garden. ·The Orchard: Restored to respect the mix of species that would have shaped monastic life, including horticultural, medicinal, and aromatic plants. ·The Lake Island ·Nasrid Patio: Typical elements of Arabic gardening, with a long pond inspired by the Patio de la Acequia in the Generalife. ***Except event days
