Palacio de la Alhambra / Granada
Located at the foot of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, Granada became the capital of the Nasrid dynasty after the fall of Cordoba in 1236. However, it came to an end with the Reconquista in 1492, the same year that Columbus reached the New World, marking the beginning of the Age of Discovery.

Catedral / Granada
After the fall of Granada, construction of the cathedral began on the site of the mosque in 1518. As a result, the cathedral is a fusion of Gothic and Arabic styles.
Cordoba
In 711, Muslims invaded the Iberian Peninsula and made Córdoba their capital. This dynasty became known as the Umayyad Caliphate. Córdoba flourished alongside the Eastern Roman Empire's Constantinople, and ancient Greek and Roman cultural artifacts and talents gathered there. These were translated into Latin, and the "12th Century Renaissance" flourished.
