314 ES - Alhambra, Generalife and Albayzín, Granada (1984)

Brief Description

"Rising above the modern lower town, the Alhambra and the Albaycín, situated on two adjacent hills, form the medieval part of Granada. To the east of the Alhambra fortress and residence are the magnificent gardens of the Generalife, the former rural residence of the emirs who ruled this part of Spain in the 13th and 14th centuries. The residential district of the Albaycín is a rich repository of Moorish vernacular architecture, into which the traditional Andalusian architecture blends harmoniously."

格拉纳达的艾勒汉卜拉、赫内拉利费和阿尔巴济
"俯瞰着低处的现代城镇,艾勒 汉卜拉宫和阿尔巴济坐落在两个相邻的小山上,一直保持着中世纪格拉纳达地区的风貌。艾勒汉卜拉堡垒和民居区的东面是风景秀美的赫内拉利费花园,公元13世 纪至14世纪统治着西班牙这部分土地的埃米尔们就曾居住在这里。阿尔巴济住宅区保留着大量摩尔人建筑风格的各式建筑,同时在这些建筑中还可以看到传统的安 达卢西亚建筑风格被完美地融入其中。"
