Hi I´m Sara Mayor from 2ºA, here I leave this legend of the Alhambra name, because its very interesting and I did´t know until now.

ALHAMBRA NAME

The name by which this monument is known, ALHAMBRA, comes from a muslim word which means "Red Fortress". However, there is historical evidence that the appearance of the Alhambra was a gleaming white. Therefore, what is the reason became known as Red Fortress? The reason is accepted by historians in their hasty construction. Because of this rush, there were many workers who intervened, and the red color came from its axes shining in the sun. Also, at night bonfires were lit to illuminate the construction work, which also gave a reddish for whom observase from the Vega of Granada look.
