Overview
Join a fascinating private tour and discover the ingenious water system in the medieval city.
Water plays a vital role in the history of the Alhambra. It can be found throughout the monument and its surroundings. When you do not see it, you can hear it.
But what can it tell us? Well, the water can tell us a lot more that it might seem. This is much more than a huge landscape of sound: it is a testimony to the surprising intellectual and technological advancement of the Nasrids.
Even the starting point is already exceptional because the water found there had to be raised 6 kilometers in altitude. How did they manage to overcome the challenge posed by gravity in the Middle Ages?
Explore the gardens of the Alhambra and its environs (a network of ditches and country manors known as “cármenes”), and learn how they built a hydraulic system that continues to have an impact 800 years later.
