1 review of Palace of Yusuf III

Remains of another great palace

Excellent

It was one of the areas that moved me the most during the visit to the Alhambra. After leaving the beautiful Palacio del Partal and walking through the gardens, we get to a small terrace where we find the foundations and the remains of what used to be, according to the guide, another beautiful palace in the city.

Listening to the explanations, most of all, looking at the remains, I cannot help but imagine how spectacular this place must have been, built in the period of the Sultan Yusuf III and demolished during the period of Felipe III. Some kind of political plot was the cause of the demolition of the palace.


Nevertheless, it still preserves the beauty of those places that enhance your imagination, one tries to imagine how it used to be. The large canal that remains and a few small cottages make the place bucolic, where the birds frolic among the myrtle hedges, box trees and the countless flowers you find in the Palace ruins.

Here we enter the so called Alhambra Alta (Upper Alhambra) and Paseo de las Torres that lead up to the Generalife. The entire upper area is dotted with archaeological remains and/or foundations of ancient dwellings, canals, where the remains of the Palacio de los Abencerrages also stand out. As you can see, history repeats itself.
