Although it is a widely discussed topic, it is known that the name Alhambra comes from Arabic and means “The Red” or “Red Castle”. Although some historians argue that it was whitewashed, the red color may have its origin in the torches that illuminated the palatine city while work was being done at night on its construction. It is located on the Sabica hill and from its location it dominates all of Granada. The original purpose of its construction was to serve as a fortress and, in general, for military purposes. It was not until the 13th century when a new period began: that of residence of the Nasrid dynasty and the court of Granada. One of the best ways to understand the characteristics and importance of the monument in depth is to be accompanied by a local tour guide who will explain every detail while you take the private tour of the Alhambra.
