One of the unique design features of the Alhambra is the succession of multiple arches. Each column is an example of the tenacity and creativity of the artisans of that era. The Patio de los Leones or the 'lions court' has 12 lions that carry the fountain upon their backs.

The Generalife gardens and orchards date from the 14th century and retain their original landscaping. These marvellous gardens on one end of the Alhambra, have inspired many musicians and authors. The name of origin seems to come from the Arabic Yanat-al-Arif which means 'Graden of the Architect'.
