Step into the enchanting world of the Court of the Myrtles, a mesmerizing oasis nestled within the Alhambra Palace at Granada. As you gaze up at the intricate details adorning the ceiling of the Portico, created by an unknown mastermind in 1907, you can't help but be captivated by its beauty. The Plan of the Alhambra Palace, dating back to the 19th century and also shrouded in mystery regarding its creator, unveils a grand layout that hints at hidden treasures awaiting discovery. Passing through the Door of Ambassadors, immortalized in Sketches and Drawings of the Alhambra, you are transported to a realm where history comes alive. A tranquil Pool and Fountain greet your senses as you enter into the Courtyard of Alberca. The sepia-toned photograph from c. 1875-80 captures this serene space perfectly – a sanctuary where one can escape from reality and immerse themselves in tranquility. Moving forward towards adventure lies another entrance – that to Hall Barque – with its allure heightened by being captured on film during an era when photography was still emerging as an art form. This image from 19th-century (1907) showcases both architectural splendor and artistic ingenuity. As you explore further into this mystical realm, you stumble upon Court Fish-Pond - a sight straight out of dreams. The Divan within it beckons for contemplation amidst such breathtaking surroundings while marveling at yet another masterpiece crafted by an anonymous genius. Delving deeper reveals even more wonders; every arch holds secrets waiting to be unraveled. A Detail Arch within Court Fish Pond catches your eye with its delicate intricacies etched meticulously onto stone walls - evidence of skilled craftsmanship passed down through generations. Columns adorned with Capitals stand tall like silent sentinels guarding ancient wisdom within their embrace. Each Capital tells stories untold.
