- Generalife - The Generalife was an almunia with gardens adjacent to the Alhambra of Granada. The name, from an uncertain source, appears to derive from the Arabic Yanat-al-Arif or Garden of the Architect, symbolizing God, Allah, as the architect and creator of the Universe.
- Alcazaba - The Alcazaba, a fortress, is one of the oldest sections of the Alhambra. It is believed that prior to its construction and the arrival of Muslims in Granada, there were already several structures in the area. The first historical mention of the Alcazaba dates back to the 9th century, and it is thought to have been built by Sawwar ben Hamdun during conflicts between Muslims and muwalladins. The Alcazaba became a true fortress, where the king established the royal residence. His son, Mohammed II, also resided in the Alcazaba until the palaces were completed. Thereafter, the Alcazaba was used solely as a military fortress.
- Palace of Carlos V - Already the ruler of America, Emperor Charles V relocated his court to the royal houses of the Alhambra to spend the summer of 1526 there. This sparked his desire to make Granada one of his residences, leading him to plan the construction of a new palace with more comfort and space than the Arabic ones, yet connected to them to continue enjoying them. This continued the work initiated by his grandparents, the Catholic Monarchs, and aimed to transform this grand courtly palace into the center of the Empire. It became one of the finest Renaissance works outside Italy and the first major royal palace of the Spanish monarchs.
