(Author), Jorge I. (Author) Ruth Rendell Irwin writes beautifully and is dauntingly clever but the stunning thing about him is his originality. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. Product Description The Alhambra, the 'red fort' on its rocky hill above Granada, with its fountained courts and gardens, and intricate decoration, has long been a byword for exotic and melancholy beauty. In a stimulating new book in the 'Wonders of the World' series Robert Irwin, Arabist and novelist, examines its engrossing and often mysterious history. Built by a bloody and threatened dynasty of Muslim Spain, it was preserved as a monument to the triumph of Christianity. Much of what we see is the invention of later generations. Its highly sophisticated decoration is not just random but full of hidden meaning. Even its purpose - palace or theological college - is not always clear. Its influence on art, and on literature, orientalist painting and Granada cinemas, Washington Irving and Borges, has been significant. Robert Irwin enables us to understand that history fully. The Wonders of the World is a series of books that focuses on some of the world's most famous sites or monuments. Their names will be familiar to almost everyone: they have achieved iconic stature and are loaded with a fair amount of mythological baggage. These monuments have been the subject of many books over the centuries, but our aim, through the skill and stature of the writers, is to get something much more enlightening, stimulating, even controversial, than straightforward histories or guides. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.Time Out Shortlist Madrid 1st edition [Paperback] Time Out Guides Ltd (Author) Book Description Time Out's bestselling Shortlist guides give you the lowdown on what's new, what's on and what's best in the world's most popular destinations Product Description Time Out Shortlist Madrid selects the very best of Madrid's sightseeing, restaurants, shopping, nightlife and entertainment, with Time Out's trademark expertise.

Granada, Seville & CordobaDVDCosmos Global Documentaries The 3 Pearls Of Andalucia Córdoba, Granada, Sevilla [DVD] [NTSC] Product Description Along the Rio Guadalquivir is Córdoba. Today the former caliphs residence of the Omaiyad is a lively city with an historic past. In 152 B.C. the town was founded during the rule of Claudius Marcellu and it was then that the Roman conquerors named it Corduba. Later the town became the capital of the province of Baetica, the hot southern region of Spain. At the beginning of the 8th century the town was the headquarters of its recent conquerors, Arabian governors and emirs and even today the architectural influence of the Moors is visible. In the 10th century A.D. the town reached the zenith of its prosperity. It is believed that almost a million people once lived in the Mecca of the West. The Great Mosque, today's Mezquita, was extended and enlarged during that time. Marble, jaspis and granite columns decorate the beautiful interior of the mosque that contains eight hundred columns. The old city of Granada extends across three hills, Sacromonte, the world famous Alhambra and Abaicín, a once densely populated Moorish district with almost thirty mosques. For several centuries around sixy thousand Moors brought the citys maze of alleys to life but only a few of the historic Islamic buildings and mosques have survived. Seville is todays pulsating capital of Andalucia and is still strongly influenced by the brilliant architectural achievements of the Moors. In former times the Real Alcázar was the residence of the regions Arabic rulers but most of its buildings were constructed during the reign of Peter The Cruel. Casa De Pilatos is one of the most beautiful palatial buildings in Seville. The residence of the Dukes of Medinacelli was built between 1492 and 1520 following a pilgrimage by one of the dukes to the Holy Land. On his return journey, following the same route that the first Marqués of Tarifa took through Italy, he brought back several valuable columns and fountains made of carrara marble that today adorn the beautiful exterior and gardens of the residence. The shoreline of the Guadalquivir River in the land of flamenco is full of life and joie de vivre. The true heart of Spain surely lies in Andalusia in the hot southern region of the Iberian Peninsula.
Frommer's Seville Day by Day (Frommer's Day by Day - Pocket) [Paperback] Jeremy Head (Author) Product Description Product Description 18 Self–guided Tours. 36 Maps. One Great Trip. At last, a travel guide that tells you how to see the best of everything—in the smartest, most time–efficient way.
The best of Seville in one, two, or three days
Thematic tours for every interest, schedule, and taste
Hundreds of evocative photos
Bulleted maps that show you how to go from place to place
Hotels, restaurants, shopping, and nightlife for all budgets
A tear–resistant foldout map—enclosed in a handy plastic wallet you can also use for tickets and souvenirs
From the Author So many guidebooks to Seville... so why buy this one? Well, firstly the Frommer's Day By Day format is unique and in my opinion very smart. Instead of chopping a destination up into areas, as is the case with most guidebooks, Day By Days use guided walking tours - The best in a day, The best in two days, The best in three days, Neighbourhoods and Special themes. There are also detailed listings sections - shops, hotels, restaurants and nightlife - but it's the tours that make the book. No more flicking between chapters to make sure you don't miss anything or fumbling for maps - the information is already organised for you complete with maps and detailed descriptions. It's intuitive and easy to use - so you make the most of your time. Just follow the points on the tours of you choice. Perfect if you only have a few days in which to see the city.
Secondly, I've researched it into the ground... This is a brand new book written (and photographed) from spending months in Seville walking and cycling the city. 40,000 words, 30 odd maps and several hundred images... it's not just full of info I've discovered, it's also full of stuff that people who live there told me. Most of them have become good friends in the process.
I hope it makes your trip to one of Europe's most romantic cities just that bit more delightful

The Origin of the Mosque of Cordoba: Secrets of Andalusia [Paperback] Marvin H Mills (Author) Product Description This book represents twenty years of thought and research on perhaps the greatest Islamic monument in Spain- the Mosque of Cordoba. The unfolding of the mystery of its origin goes back to Atlantis when an era of world civilization made possible the birth of a community called Tartessos in Andalusia. This sophisticated society welcomed the trading Phoenicians in the 12th century BC. Together they designed and built essentially the structure that Islam adapted to their use as a mosque in the 8th century AD. But new evidence gathered by the architect, Marvin Mills, fails to support this contention as we examine the architecture and history of the building and realize that another provenance is indicated. Even the orientation of he mosque is suspect as it fails to orient to Mecca. And Carbon-14 dating indicates a much older attribution. Revelations such as these will make it impossible to continue as usual in the progress of the field of Spanish architecture, Phoenicians in the West, the reality of Atlantis without dealing with this new approach. Insights into the famous Alhambra in Granada and Madina Azahara, the palace-city outside of Cordoba, add to the new perspective by challenging their origins as well.
