Palace of Charles V

The Palace of Carlos V, of all the buildings of the Alhambra, is a strange, unique style and unique name. In 1526, King Carlos I of Spain and his newlyweds went to the Alhambra for their honeymoon, and were impressed by the beauty of the palace, envied and jealous, and ordered the construction of a palace of his own. Michelangelo's student-architect Pedro Mashuka presided over the design and construction. After 30 years (1527-1557), after the palace was first scaled, Carlos I found that he could not surpass the exquisite Islamic carvings and the ingenious interior layout of the Moors around him, so he abandoned it. In the end, it was impossible. Although the king did not look down, it was a classic Spanish Renaissance building overlooking the sky, and the magnificent and magnificent atmosphere was shocking. The exterior - a large square shape of 17 meters high and 63 meters long, became the largest single building in the Alhambra area; The stone exterior wall, the rigid square stone, the open bronze ring, the exquisite carving complement each other, showing the style of the Wang family. The inner circle - the open-air circular courtyard of 30 meters in diameter is located in the middle, spacious and transparent; The 32 stone pillars around support the 2-story 12-meter-wide round colonnade, elegant and luxurious...

We have booked the Fort Hotel in the Alhambra and can walk to the Palace of Carlos V in the corner of the Palace after 19:00 in the evening. As part of the Alhambra, Carlos V Palace is a Renaissance-style building that contrasts with the Muslim style of the Alhambra. Because the king is Catholic, the style is Western, and other buildings nearby are Moorish. The grandeur of the Grand Basilica and the Church of St. Mary is magnificent, the most unique and striking in the Alhambra, and the circular courtyard inside the Grand Basilica lacks the gorgeous decorations, much like the Colosseum. Other palace buildings are Muslim, with compact interiors and exquisite finishes, while the exterior is unpretentious. The palace of Carlos V was built by the Spanish monarch to demonstrate his achievements in reconquering the lost Granada and making it a witness to the conquest of the aliens. Second, the royal family needed a place that included all the comforts, and the palace or summer palace could not meet them. So the king ordered a palace and asked for it to be built at the Alhambra. The works began in 1527 and ended in 1957. The palace was square, Its main appearance is 63 meters wide, 17 meters high. Its unique circular atrium. Its architect is Michelangelo's student, the building is the whole outer inner circle, the middle is a wide round courtyard, surrounded by two-story colonnades. Only the exterior walls of the south and west are decorated, while the north and east are not decorated because they are connected to the Alhambra. The current Palace of Carlos V was converted to the Alhambra and the Granada Provincial Gallery.
