The lifeblood of the Alhambra. A toast to the Moorish architects of that time.

The Alhambra's irrigation canals are an essential part of its hydraulic infrastructure, designed to supply water to the complex's gardens and palaces. The system is based on the Royal Canal or Sultan's Canal, which channels water from the Darro River to the upper reaches of the Generalife.
