Detailed information about the visit
COMPLETE ITINERARY THROUGH ALL AREAS OF THE ALHAMBRA
The Generalife Palace encompasses one of the most recognizable areas of the Alhambra, linked to both the palace and the gardens. Within this area are spaces such as the Patio de la Acequia, the Patio de la Sultana, and the Escalera del Agua, three points of interest integrated into this part of the monumental complex.
Further along the route, the tour continues to the Baño de Comares or Royal Hammam, the bath associated with the Comares Palace. Here, the steam rooms, the vaulted ceilings with lobed and star-shaped skylights, and the underfloor heating system elements characteristic of the structure of this space are preserved.
The military aspect of the tour begins at the Alcazaba, the defensive enclosure of the Alhambra. This area includes the Barrio Castrense, related to the garrison that occupied this part of the complex, as well as spaces such as the Torre de la Vela and the Jardín de los Adarves.
The final stretch leads to the Palace of Charles V, a Renaissance building erected within the Alhambra from 1526 onwards. One of its most recognizable features is its floor plan, organized around a circle inscribed in a square, within the monumental complex itself.
