Forward The Alhambra is a fortified palace-citadel of the Moorish kings of Granada. The name is a corruption of the Arbic Kal-at al hamra, The Red Castle. This once magnificent center of Moorish culture and art is the remains of the Moorish domain in Spain. The citadel stood on a terrace, about 2500 by 675 feet, and was surrounded by a wall with 13 square towers. Inside this fortified wall there were beautiful gardens, Court of the Fish- pond, The Fountain of the Lions, mosaic pavement, Court of Justices, and above all the most colorful, graceful columns and arches, un- surpassed anywhere. , This Moorish castle has long since been un- inhabited but is in a state of preservation as a work of art, and a memorial of the tragic leg- end of the Abencerrages. It was one of those hours and scenes in which memory asserts an almost magical power, and, like the evening sun beaming on these mol- dering towers, sends back her retrospective rays to light up the glories of the past.
