Spain's Islamic Legacy



The famous Alhambra Palace (Red Palace) in Granada, Spain. One of the best known monuments of Islamic architecture.


The 'Ambassadors Hall' in the palace is where the Muslim ruler, Abu Abdallah (also known as "Boabdil") had signed the treaty on November 25, 1491 for eventual surrender of Granada in January 1492 to the Catholic King Ferdinand and Queen Isabel.

"Cry you like women over a kingdom lost that you could not defend like a man"
