The ancient fortress of the Alhambra has a fascinating history, passing from Moorish sultans to Catholic kings. Today it is one of Spain’s most visited tourist attractions and is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site.

However, very few know of the secret world of the Alhambra that lies unseen below the surface – a hidden network of tunnels and dungeons, off limits to tourists, that are still being uncovered and understood by archaeologists today.

  1. There's a hotel or Pension in the grounds.
    Also, it's lovely to see late in the eve when it's all lit up
    Granada was 1 of my favourite cities in Spain – especially during festival times.

  2. Not Al Hambra, is AL-Hamra, which means the red. It was named after tge ruler of Gharnata (Granada) who's last name is Al-Ahmar from the tribe of Bani Al-Ahmar. It was built by the moroccans The Marinids during their rule of Andalusia. And architecture is pure Moroccan

  3. Guess what was found in Cordoba when it fell ?

    The books and manuscripts from the library of Alexandria.

    Every movie about finding "treasure" is based on this discovery.
    The treasure was never gold and jewels.
    But the records of man and how to create world's.

    Like golem , they could not handle what they found and decided to create axis mundi.
    Hell on earth.
    But the opposite was just as easily created with the knowledge they found.
    But the temptation to keep it to themselves was to great.

  4. It was the Algerians who built it, this architecture is called Dziri , pure Algérian architect, the spanish themselves did a documentary stating it so did Andalusia, it was tarik Ibn ziad who conquered it, he was an Algerian amazigh from the Aouras mountains in Algeria

  5. We don’t forget ever never what u do for Muslim by killing them and force them to Christian..as Yemeni whose belong to the grand grand grand Abi Amer Alhajeb AlMunsor..and the Yemeni tribe who opened the Andalusia.. We will not forget the attack of the Spaniards and their Queen Isabel and Freinand and their burning of a million books containing science and knowledge from medicine, mathematics, astronomy and engineering. One day we will come back.. And we will establish justice, not killing, as you did in the Morsicans, the Arabs and the Jews.

  6. I am from Yemen. My tribe migrated to Spain during this period and still have their fortress under their name until now. I am proud of my ancestors. Incredible to see this

  7. The language they use in the documentary is very interesting…. ‘Conquered by the catholic monarchs’ and ‘this ended the 800-year-old tradition of Islamic culture’…. If u take 20 minutes out of your day and read just a little bit about Spanish history you will see that the language used is just a tad bit inaccurate, almost as if the Spanish conquered the Muslims, like that land was rightfully Muslim. Language is very important because now people will think that the history of Spain began with the Muslims. This is the sad state of historians in the modern age.
