Alhambra Nasrid palaces ornate courtyards

The hill above Granada, where the last Nasrid emirs built courtyards out of running water and carved stucco. The Court of the Lions still holds twelve marble beasts around a central basin. The Sierra Nevada sits behind it all, snow-capped half the year. People go quiet inside the Hall of the Two Sisters and stand a long time looking up.
