- The ancient fortress of the Alhambra has a fascinating history, passing from Moorish sultans to Catholic kings. Today it is one of Spain's most visited tourist attractions and is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site.
However, very few know of the secret world of the Alhambra that lies unseen below the surface - a hidden network of tunnels and dungeons, off limits to tourists, that are still being uncovered and understood by archaeologists today.

@@meryem9277 in the levant as well
@@samnatt248 the levant has a completely different style.
It does not ressemble the Maghrebi style
It's a nice mixture of byzantine and persian architecture tho
@@gymrat5014 look at the Dome of the Rock, or Damascene Arabesque. The Arabs of the Levant are great architects, look at Madain Saleh and Petra. The first Arab settlers in Spain came from Palestine, Jordan and Syria. The Palestinians for instance were settled in Sidonia and Zaragoza. The first governor of Zaragoza was Lakmide Palestinian himself, Ayub Al Lakhmy. Calatayud, a town in Spain, was named after him.
@@samnatt248 I did not say it's not beautiful. I said it's not the same style at all. The Arab style in Andalusia is madinat al zahra while Granada and the Alhambra palace is a moorish architecture specific to Andalusia and the Western Maghreb(Western Algeria and Morocco)
There's no plaster work zelij or Ceder work in Islamic buildings of the Levant which is the case in Sevilla Granada Fez Marrakech and Tlemcen.
So saying it's Arab style while it was invented after the Andalusians and Berbers kicked the Arabs out after the berber revolt and the fall of the ummayade dynasty is ungenuine and borderline cultural appropriation
I am from Yemen. My tribe migrated to Spain during this period and still have their fortress under their name until now. I am proud of my ancestors. Incredible to see this
Really like I want to know how still you have fortress and How you feel as being tribal from undulus , haspania . Brother I'm from India and I'm muslim I read a book about fall of granada and it makes me cry and I still finding someone which one's tribes came from granada
Don't lie, Yemeni. You have not gone anywhere. You are still living in a stone age. Those who went there from Mecca and Hijaz, the Arabian Peninsula and Yemen, are not even Arabs

now u don't have even electricity, so shut it. also andalus started by Amawy tribe u lier.
As someone from Granada its cool to see my humble, small and homey province be so recognized internationally. Come to granada photos dont do justice to its beauty
You are absolutely right. We only been in Granada three times. That is way too little
It's a shame how some people from you city can be racists...
@@jabohonu bruh racist are eveywhere, and granada is very multicultural, i just know its less racist than average. Sorry about your experience tho
thanks to Islam and Muslims. before Andalus Gernada people didn't even know how to shower and clean themselves.
Honestly, one of the most incredibly awe inspiring place on earth. Granada is just as fittingly mesmerising.

Visited this ancient monument during one hot, dry summer afternoon. Simply breathtaking! However, the walk down to the centre at dusk was even more impressive; words are not enough to convey the beauty of this place.
Original video about the Alhambra, rare to see the underground world. The scenic views of the Sierra Nevada mountains really enhances everything, very impressive!
I would like to thanks BBC REEL

Hi Margaret, a Canadian here who lived in Fuengirola from 1977 to 86, I loved taking visitors up Grenada, the Alhambra I believe the most impressive examples of Islamic architecture in Europe. The majestic manner in which it sits on that hill seems to magically transport you back to medieval times.

On my bucket list. Hope to get to it before the end of the decade.
There's a hotel or Pension in the grounds.
Also, it's lovely to see late in the eve when it's all lit up
Granada was 1 of my favourite cities in Spain - especially during festival times.
Fascinating
Those arabs really knew how to build. The Alhambra Palace is almost a dream! A dream in 1001 nights.
Possibly was an Iberian muslim architect and not ethically Arab. By that time, most of the Andalucian population had converted to Islam. Muhammad ibn Nasr, the ruler who had the Alhambra built had red hair and was known for this.

I suddenly remember Memories of the Alhambra :D it a very good k-drama
The Alhambra by Washington Irving is a great read to get a feel for the place. He had the freedom to wander its hall for many months and published the book in 1832. It's very readable, and is full of the myths and legends that the Alhambra is immersed in.

@@LindaC616 Mine has black and white illustrations from a later German reprinting.
@@shadowjack8 also cool. Are they very detailed? (I'm thinking of the room they showed with the text on the walls) And are they limited to the building, or did they use human figures?

Another magnificemt example of Islamic architecture 👍
what is Islamic architecture? how architecture can have a religion?
@@aexeastudio7426 it’s a type of architecture that was developed in Islamic Middle East and was very associated with Islam that most of mosques and palaces were constructed with what they call Islamic architecture 🕌☪️
@@koshie7879 that type of Architecture was developed in Persia, not in the middle east, Arab Muslim used to make building in simple cubical shape before they took over Persia and adopted its architecture
@@aexeastudio7426 i agree with you but we can’t ignore the fact that they changed a bit of the Persian architecture and aded to it some Arabic and Turkish kind of design
@@koshie7879 yes it was kind of like a mix
Just was in Granada. Omg. The views...
These are gentle and respectful visitors. 2 million people walking on, touching, bumping, brushing up against, sitting on, leaning against and simple transference is murder on a structure.
Don't worry it's been there for a few hundred years....
There is a lot of security, even police inside. There are some bad tourists but La Alhambra is very well taken care of :)
Extreme....giant....architecture
I've visited many of the most famous sites in the world and The Alhambra is one that went far beyond expectations. It's stunningly beautiful, awe-inspiring and magical. You really start to see the influence of Islamic culture upon Spanish culture after visiting the Islamic sites. You can visit very cheaply from the UK and I stayed in a Medieval Airbnb below the palace that was very cheap.
I flew to Malaga and visited their Islamic and other sites, staying away from the British tourists who stay by the beaches mainly. I then got a train to Granada and visited the Alhambra, then a bus to Cordoba to see the red mosque and it's a beautiful place to walk around. I then headed to Seville which is also incredible with amazing sites to see and I flew back to the UK from Seville.
Ryanair flies very cheaply to Malaga and returns from Seville.
It's one of the best trips I've ever taken and if you love history and culture you'd love it.
one of masterpieces of human beings creation I think....Txs
Yes along with the Sistine chapel
@@popefrancis8153 excuse me....is this your majesty real Pope Francis ? Txs.....
Undoubtedly, the most beautiful structure in Europe. It is no coincidence that the most beautiful and iconic buildings in the world were built by muslims. The sheer beauty of these structures being physical expressions of the beauty and inspiration within. Incredible.
You know that Versailles is in Europe, don't you?
There are many iconic monuments built by all cultures
The most beautiful buildings were built by the Church. St. Peters, Notre Dame, Versailles etc
@@danielandres1579 Wrong, Versailles is a palace, it was built by the monarchy.
@@danielandres1579 Nope. If you were to ask anyone what is the most beautiful man-made structure in the world, the overwhelming universal answer would be the Taj Mahal. Once again, built by muslims with the most exquisite intricate designs, inspired by their faith. Al Hambra in Spain. Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem. These places are the most visited tourist places in these countries as people from all over the world marvel at the muslim-inspired constructions all of which have an undeniable link to the muslim faith. The internal inspiring the external.

Nothing special underground. Magnificent above ground.
interesting to know. So it seems that Assassin´s creed is real, many ancient buildings indeed have some hidden secret spaces which we never know.
Just imagine... your a Spanish/French Soldier fighting in the (1803) Peninsula war, and your unit stops upon this. You look around, and eventually you lose track of where you are. Darkness and weird sounds spiral around you, sounds not familiar to any European. You enter a staircase, and you fall upon a Assassin bureau, lost to time.

I believe the architectural term you're looking for is 'postern'.
Was that bell shape prison in the last Kingdom
Arabs left a real treasure in Andalucia... glad they see the bright side of it despite historical disagreements
Please don't confuse Arabs with Muslims, most of that ancient culture was made by local Iberians converted to Islam, not people from Arabia.
The Arabs and North Africans were a ruling minority. The vast majority of the population were Iberian Muslims.
I hope this clarifies a little bit more. Greetings.
Arabs didn't leave ANYTHING in Andalucia, it's the MOORS = NORTH AFRICAN = AMAZIGHS North Africa and Iberia are neighbours and they are even blood relative since the beginning of history way before Islam what does Arabia have to do with anything? Arabs are Asians.
@Fady Al qaisy Arabs were not a majority, just the ruling elite, that's why the language spoken was Arabic. For example, if you go to Jamaica today you will hear English spoken... But Jamaicans are not English. The language doesn't make the people.
And the Islamic architecture in Iberia is very peculiar, it has differences with other Islamic styles around the world. This is because it was blending the new Muslim art with old Iberian traditions like Roman or Visigothic architecture.
That also happens in many countries, people tend to mix the new fashions with the old traditions. For example, look at Turkey or Albania or Malaysia, they all are Muslims but they all are different, and If you look at their buildings and arts you will see differences in style.
@Fady Al qaisy also, we know that Arabs and North Africans were a minority because we can see it in the historical archives. There were census (for tax etc) and we know that the local population in Iberia was around 7 million inhabitants by the end of the Visigothic period. The Muslim troops were initially around 20.000 (approx). Not enough to invade. If Islam spread so fast it was because of war alliances and mass conversions (when one lord converted to Islam all his subjects and peasants had to convert to Islam too).
But the Arabs and North Africans were very influential in the culture, that is for sure. They were people from all over the Caliphate travelling to Iberia, but they were still a minority. A minority can influence the majority, of course, but the local population doesn't just dissapear, they are still there building things and doing art. That's why we can say that the Alhambra is not Arab, it wasn't built by the Arabs.
You can read it everywhere that the northafricans were the very minority. you can "see" it also by dna tests, that there were barely any mixtures between the two populations
Appreciate the armies who conquered there. They preserved and respected the rival's art, which is a piece of news we don't hear often.
@abdo abdo hah hah.. that's the extremist dogma which we should destroy. By the libraries, you may have referred to the Alexandria, but the armies who conquered Alhambra weren't there when the Alexandria destroyed. Please go see the above comment again. Don't let your irrational filthy extremist ideology come out so often. Thanks.

And they destroyed many monuments that are now forever lost.
@@alif1217 well, in fact, I'm not worried as it is the common scenario which we can see all over the history and in this architectural case, I'm pretty sure this isn't the same as the shameful display of cowerdize Ottomans did by sacking the great Byzantine architecture. Therefore I don't still see a reason not to give credits and appreciate the armies who were great enough not to convert a thing in here.
@@nirangadewruwanperera2540 Actually, every mosque was converted into church, and sometimes partially destroyed to build a church in it. Even the king of Spain Charles Quint regretted it and said "You destroyed what we see nowhere to build what we see everywhere" in reference to the Cordoba cathedral that was build inside of the mosque
@@alif1217 yeah pathetic isn't it to see what medieval primary-minded civilizations did. It is even more sad to see still some of those primary-minded civilizations are alive and they've been converting the historical monuments into mosques and no history experts are there to criticize even they have more of them in their own civilization. And I'm still not able to find a reason not to be thankful for the Catholic armies for sparing this architectural masterpiece.
We will return, my nation, do not despair
