The Alhambra, a palace citadel built for the Nasrid dynasty in the 13th century, is known as the last sigh of the Moors.
00:00:02
Poetry was the inspiration for the architectural concept of this, the palace of the last Islamic Sultanate on the Iberian Peninsula.
00:00:12
From the inscriptions engraved in the palace's stone walls, the architectural combination is understood to be a realization of
00:00:21
descriptions of paradise found in Islamic verse.
00:00:29
For are there not in this garden wonders, that God has made incomparable in their beauty,
00:00:32
and a sculpture of pearls with a transparently light, the borders of which are trimmed with seed-pearl?
00:00:42
Great architectural monuments not only stand as a testament of past time periods and cultures,
00:00:54
They entice curiosity, contemplation and spark the imagination.
00:01:08
What human stories have these ruins witnessed as they withstood centuries of violence and
00:01:15
transformation?
00:01:21
What rises and falls of dynasties and kingdoms, personal dramas and human fates have unfolded
00:01:23
within these ancient walls?
00:01:29
The Alhambra of Granada has, over centuries, stirred artists, musicians, writers and poets
00:01:33
due to its mystery and potential for fantasy.
00:01:41
The halls, instead of being naked and unfurnished, were set out with divans and ottomans of the
00:01:46
rarest stuffs, embroidered with pearls and studded with precious gems.
00:01:53
And all the fountains in the courts and gardens were playing.
00:02:01
After the Christian conquest at the end of the 15th century, the architectural complex
00:02:12
saw additions and changes made by the conquerors to conform to their tastes and needs.
00:02:18
Construction of the Palace of Charles V was started, while churches and monasteries were
00:02:24
erected within the fortress walls.
00:02:29
the atmosphere and life within the Palace Citadel took on a new tone.
00:02:33
I see in imagination the Catholic sovereigns prostrating themselves before the altar
00:02:41
and pouring forth thanks for their victory,
00:02:47
while the vaults resounded with sacred minstrelsy and deep-toned te Deum.
00:02:50
What makes an architectural space come to life
00:02:57
doesn't only lie in the beauty of what it is,
00:03:03
but also in the potential of what it could be.
00:03:06
When a fleeting shadow across a crumbling brick wall
00:03:10
or the sound of footsteps against a stone floor
00:03:14
inspires a thought, an image, a scene.
00:03:17
The court of lions was thronged with guards
00:03:21
and courtiers and alphachies
00:03:26
as in the old time of the Moors.
00:03:29
And at the upper end, in the saloon of judgement,
00:03:32
sat Boabdil on his throne, surrounded by his court
00:03:36
and swaying a shadowy sector for the night.
00:03:42
Myths, fables, and legends have for centuries
00:03:48
been born out of the ancient stones of the Alhambra,
00:03:52
and the Moorish culture, which has faded away over time,
00:03:56
is remembered through what the architecture
00:04:01
that they left behind continues to inspire.
