The Alhambra ('The Red One') is a palace and fortress, one of the most famous monuments of Islamic architecture and one of the best-preserved palaces of the historic Islamic world in addition to containing notable examples of Spanish Renaissance architecture. The complex was begun in 1238 by Muhammed I Ibn al-Ahmar, the first Nasrid emir and founder of the Emirate of Granada, the last Muslim state of Al-Andalus.
