The city is an example in the richness and variety that a chequered history can give rise to. Such is the magic and aura of the city that the winds still carry with them the smell of an ancient Arabian culture. However, the essence of the city of Granada lies in its enmeshing of an exotic Arabian past with a European Christian civilization. It is this aspect of the city of Granada which enables the city to host numerous offerings both for its residents and also its visitors. The remnants of old mosques, colossal churches, the Alhambra, many other such palaces and other establishments speak of the rich myriad faceted history of the territory.
