Conceived as a military area at the beginning, the Alhambra became the royal residence and the court of Granada, in the mid-13th century, after the establishment of the Nasrid kingdom and the construction of the first palace, by the founding king Mohammed ibn Yusuf ben Nasr, better known by Alhamar.
Throughout the s. XIII, XIV and XV, the fortress became a citadel with high walls and defensive towers, which houses two main areas: the military zone or Alcazaba, the royal guard barracks, and the medina or palatine city, where the famous Nasrid Palaces and the remains of the houses of nobles and commoners who lived there. The Palace of Carlos V, (which was built after the capture of the city in 1492 by the Catholic Monarchs), is also in the medina.

The Alhambra, that monumental jewel of Granada, has been portrayed on numerous occasions. Various painters from around the world decided at a certain moment that the Nasrid monument should appear on one of their canvases. Either as the undisputed protagonist or within a Granada landscape that highlights other elements of the city.

In the middle of the courtyard is a 12-cornered fountain with 12 marble lions spouting water.
