Tears rose to my eyes, and they were not tears of sorrow or joy, they were full of silent and hidden life for being in Granada
The Albaycin neighborhood presents several examples of extraordinary Moorish Houses, (16th centuries) Residential Palaces (13th-15th centuries) and Hamman from the Andalusian era (11th century-) prior to the conquest of 1492.
In this neighborhood, included in the World Heritage List by Unesco in 1994, there are still more than eighty of these houses, which constitute a set of great architectural and historical value, although many are still in a precarious state of conservation.
Houses built or renovated by the Moors of Granada in the 16th century are called Moorish houses. These houses maintained the basic characteristics of Nasrid residential architecture from the 13th-15th centuries: distribution around a courtyard, façades with no decoration and openings, except for the entrance door, and a corner access system to guarantee privacy. Although most had two floors, the patio was the center of family life, which took place mainly on the ground floor, where there was also a hallway, a latrine and a small kitchen.
A tour of approximately 2.5 hours, together with our Official Expert Guide to see the best selection of them. A visit to connect with a distinguished and refined era.
