- Pilar de Carlos V - The Pillar of Charles V, situated within the Alhambra grounds in Granada, is a stunning example of the Spanish Renaissance, particularly the Granada style.
- Puerta de la Justicia - The Gate of Justice (Bab al-Sharia in Arabic, or Gate of the Esplanade) stands as one of the most significant and grand entrances to the Alhambra complex in Granada, epitomizing Nasrid architecture.
- Puerta del Vino - The Wine Gate is among the oldest and most distinguished structures in the Alhambra, renowned for its central position and elaborate decoration, marking the transition between the military area (the Alcazaba) and the palatial area (the Medina).
- Plaza de los Aljibes - Located at the base of the Alcazaba, the Plaza de los Aljibes is a central point of the Alhambra, offering a vantage point to admire the Albaicín and Sacromonte neighborhoods, both recognized as UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
- Palace of Carlos V - The Palace of Charles V is one of the most iconic and visually striking buildings within the Alhambra’s monumental complex in Granada. This Renaissance palace, commissioned by Emperor Charles V (Charles I of Spain) following his visit in 1526, is celebrated for its distinctive architecture.

- Bano del Polinario - The Polinario Bath, also referred to as the Bath of Mohammed III or the Bath of the Mosque, is a historic Arab bath (hammam) that forms part of the Medina of the Alhambra. (Subject to availability)
- Bosque de La Alhambra - The Alhambra Forest, also known as the Alhambra Forest Walk, is the expansive green area that surrounds and accompanies the ascent to the hill where the Nasrid monument is located. The Bib Rambla Gate (Puerta del Arenal) was a component of Granada’s wall and served as one of the primary entrances into the city from the large suburb where markets and jousts took place (now Plaza de Bib-Rambla). Its nickname, the “Arch of the Ears,” originated from the practice of displaying the severed limbs of criminals there.
Demolition: In the late 19th century (1884), the gate was demolished by the City Council, despite opposition from intellectuals who aimed to preserve it.
Reconstruction: Its remnants were safeguarded and, decades later, between 1933 and 1935, the Alhambra’s restoration architect, Leopoldo Torres Balbás, meticulously reconstructed it stone by stone in its current location, integrated into the Alhambra Forest.
- Carmen de los Martires - Nasrid Period: The land was initially known as “Campo de Abahul” or “Corral de los Cautivos,” used by the Arabs to detain Christian prisoners who, according to tradition, endured martyrdom there. Its name is derived from this history. Additionally, underground silos existed, used to store provisions for the Alhambra. Spanning over 7 hectares, the gardens are a splendid example of 19th-century Romantic gardening, incorporating various influences:
·French Garden (Baroque)
·English Garden, also known as the Palm Garden.
·The Orchard: Restored to honor the blend of species that would have characterized monastic life, including horticultural, medicinal, and aromatic plants.
·The Lake Island
·Nasrid Patio: Features typical of Arabic gardening, with a long pond inspired by the Patio de la Acequia in the Generalife.
