Alhambra now - and more than100 years ago

Alhambra in Granada is without  doubt one of the most beautiful historic sites in the world. The Alhambra and its gardens were declared national artistic monuments in Spain already in 1872, and in 1984 the UNESCO World Heritage Committee included Alhambra and the Generalife of Granada on the World Heritage List

 Below you can compare a photograph of Alhambra taken in the 1890s with a photo from 2005.
