THE PALACE
At the foot of the Sierra Nevada is Granada, the ancient Iberian city of Iliberri , which would later become the important Roman city of Florentia Iliberritana and after the Muslim occupation of the peninsula would become Garnata , capital of the last Hispanic-Muslim kingdom, the kingdom Nasrid, which would last until the end of the Muslim occupation, after which the new modern state transformed it into a European Renaissance city in the image of the new European cities, but with great respect for the deep antiquity of its roots.
The Iberians called it Iliberri , the Romans Municipium Florentinum Iliberritanum , the Visigoths Florence, but until 1013, when the Berber dynasty of the Zirís established there their taïfa , the city was enlarged and the old Iberian and Roman city was refortified and new belts were raised defensive ones.
As a prestigious vestige of Hispanic-Muslim architecture, the Alhambra and its fortress dominate, from the Sabika hill, both the old and picturesque neighborhood of Albaicín, the primitive center of the ancient city, and the nearby plain of Granada, which the Romans would call it Florentia.
Therefore, his Palace could not be less prestigious than the worth of his ancestors. Built on two floors with an area of ??1,500 m 2 , it follows the archetypal architecture of the Renaissance palace of the classicist transformation of Granada, with a majestic patio of more than 130 m 2 and a large room that overlooks the garden."
