It has been a residence for many people, thereby giving a cultural mix to the neighborhood. The churches San Bartolom\u00e9 and San Crist\u00f3bal and their underground reservoirs can be seen by the visitors while walking through this neighborhood. The city walls of Albaic\u00edn were built during the second half of the 14th century Nazarite era. This construction was undertaken to defend the neighborhoods. The Alhambra \u2013 is one of the most important palace of Nasrid era. It originated in the 9th century and has attractive buildings and gardens. During the Moslem era, this was one of the largest aristocratic and political centers. The palace has a number of rectangular beautiful courtyards and large number of fountains. The Nasrid buildings accommodate the monarchs and their servants. The walkways are lined with trees, thereby providing coolness and shade. Alcazaba is the oldest building. Important structures are La Vela Tower and Lions courtyard. The Generalife \u2013 or The Royal Orchard is a 14th century palace which is used by the Sultan as his country residence. The orchard supplied food items and served as a recreational area for the palace residents. From the river Darro, a number of huge canals have been constructed that reach the palace, thereby making it highly fertile. The courtyard Acequia is highly colorful and attractive and serves as an entry point for the buildings. The courtyard is on the Cerro del Sol slopes and offers fantastic views. Other Monuments 1.Arab baths \u2013 were built in the 11th century and were the best relaxation one could get in the Nazarine era. These baths were refurbished and were the best baths in that period. The columns at El Ba\u00f1uelo in Visigoth and Roman styles that indicate the usage of Darro river water for baths are also preserved. 2.Granada Cathedral \u2013 is a 16th century cathedral. The Gothic floor plan and Renaissance dome have been combined by the architect Diego de Silo\u00e9 in this building. The main chapel dome has been decorated using attractive stained glass, sculptures and Alonso Cano paintings. The doors \u2013 San Jer\u00f3nimo, Ecce Homo and El Perd\u00f3n are very beautiful. The main fa\u00e7ade is of Baroque architecture whereas the choir stalls are of Plateresque architecture. 3.La Cartuja Monastery \u2013 was planned originally for Medieval architecture; however it became Baroque totally. This is a 16th century Carthusian monastery built in 1515 as per Baroque architecture. Initially it was planned for austerity; however it incorporated works of various artists \u2013 S\u00e1nchez Cot\u00e1n, Bocanegra and others of repute. Important things to observe are the jeweled inlays. In addition there are other monuments \u2013 16th century Casa del Chapiz House, 16th century Casa de los Tiros House, 13th century Casa de los Girones House and 16th century Royal Chapel."}
