Ten Historic Places Worth Visiting In Europe
7. Granada, Spain
Granada is the capital city of the province of Granada, in Andalusia. The region surrounding Granada has been populated since at least 5500 B.C. and experienced Roman and Visigothic influences. Elibyrge was used as the name for what is now Granada as early as the 7th century B.C., and by the 1st century A.D., it had become a Roman municipality known as Iliberri.
The Alhambra, a Moorish citadel and palace, is in Granada. It is the most renowned building of the Andalusian Islamic historical legacy, with its many cultural attractions that make Granada a popular destination among the touristic cities of Spain. The Almohad influence on architecture is also preserved in the Granada neighborhood called the Albaicín with its fine examples of Moorish and Morisco construction.
