Famed as a world heritage monument, the Alhambra is more than a stunning palace—it is a "paradise on earth" built by the Nasrid dynasty.
Explore how 13th-century artists and engineers combined water, light, and intricate geometry to create a timeless masterpiece where blend of Islamic and Jewish influences might be seen. From the serene Court of the Lions to the "talking walls" covered in poetry, this event will reveal archaeological and architectural marvels behind the legends of the Alhambra.
Appropriately, this talk is held at the new Ismaili Center whose architects translate enduring ideas from the Muslim world through contemporary craft, creating a space that feels rooted in tradition yet relevant.
Sr. Fernando Martínez Ávila, Director, Department of Archaeology, Alhambra & Generalife is presenting this talk.
