About Generalife

As one explores the famous Alhambra Palace, one cannot help but combine their exploration of the palace with a Generalife gardens tour. Located next to the palace, this complex of elegant gardens, fountains, pools and fine architecture is situated upon Cerro del Sol in Granada. Built in the 14th Century for Nasrid King Muhammed III, this gorgeous structure is composed of the Main Palace, Soultana's Court, Romantic Observation Point, Generalife Theatre, Promenade of the Cypress Trees and The Court of the Main Canal. One of the most sought after UNESCO sites of Spain, the palace frequently features guided tours of the Generalife to discover this ancient Arab estate.
