Alhambra. Webcams Granada

The Granada webcam broadcasts a view of the Alhambra in real time.

This is a magnificent palace complex, which is the most visited place in Spain. It is located on a hilly terrace in the eastern part of the city. The structure of the vast complex, enclosed in fortress walls with towers, also included mosques, residential buildings, baths, gardens, warehouses, and a cemetery. It is currently a museum of Islamic architecture.

Granada, whose webcams are available on the site, is one of the oldest cities in the Kingdom of Spain.

It differs in that it was built both on the hills and on the plain. This incredible landscape will remain in your memory for a long time.
During Muslim rule, the entire city consisted of an endless labyrinth of narrow lanes and squares, beautiful palatial houses, fountains and ponds, patios and gardens. Science, literature and art flourished in this city.
For more than two centuries, Granada remained under the rule of the Nasrids, who also took care of the social development of the place. They built educational centers, madrasas, hospitals. The great Moses ben Yaakob ibn Ezra, the author of more than five hundred secular and religious poems, was born and lived in this city. He represented the highest Hebrew-Spanish poetry - and even Spanish Arabic - of the Middle Ages, whose literary influence has had a major influence on modern Spanish poetry.
Despite such an idyll, on January 2, 1492, the city was transferred to the Catholic Monarchs Isabella I of Castile and Ferdinand V of Aragon, who took possession of Granada.

It is from this moment that the city becomes a significant place for travelers from all over the Western world, people from all the ancient kingdoms of the peninsula. Many of them came here because of great curiosity, knowledge of lands that were previously forbidden to visit. So many merchants, artisans, artists, poets, architects and other people arrived here that Granada turned into a noisy and lively city. In parallel, the construction of large art buildings began here, which were already erected in the Renaissance style.

The first building in the new style was the Granada Cathedral and the palace of Carlos V.

These buildings were quite extraordinary for their time and had no analogues in the Iberian Peninsula. Many religious orders founded monasteries and churches in former mosques and Moorish houses. In addition, many cultural figures have come to Granada, whose webcams allow you to enjoy the area online. Over time, they founded a baroque school here, making the city a real storehouse of artistic and historical treasures. All this, together with the founding of the university, in which the most illustrious masters of Europe took part, forever imprinted the character of an artistic and cultural city with universal fame.
