Generalife
The Generalife is the garden villa used by the Sultans of Granada as a retreat and resting place. It was conceived as a rural village, where ornamental gardens, orchards and architecture were integrated in the immediate vicinity of the Alhambra. The name we give to the whole Generalife literally means Yannat al-Arif: “Garden of the Architect”, referring to the gardens and orchards that supplied fruits and vegetables to the Nasrid court. However, the palace to which we turn, conceived as the monarch's resting place, was what the poet Ibn al-Jayyab called "the royal house of happiness".
Alcazaba
The Alcazaba is the oldest part of the Alhambra. It was an urban fortified compound, whose function was to serve as royal residence to Mohamed I until the Palaces were finished, from there its function was purely military.
