<\/span><\/h2>\nA commemorative plaque and a statue pay homage to Irving.\u00a0"This strong mixture of Buckwheat and Gothic, which dates from the time of the Moors, and with the particular character of certain street scenes which reminded us of passages from the Thousand and One Nights"<\/em>, he writes of this architectural masterpiece. But let's take a closer look at these myths mentioned by the author.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/span>Legend of the Abencerrajes room<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A family of the Muslim nobility who once lived in the Alhambra, the Abencerrajes (or Abenc\u00e9rages) would have suffered the wrath of the Zenetes, their political rivals. The story goes that the latter invented a romantic relationship between their sultana and one of the Abencerrajes, which had the consequence of putting Sultan Boabdil, the last Nasrid emir of Granada, beside himself.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Selon la l\u00e9gende, il organisa alors une f\u00eate au cours de laquelle il fit d\u00e9capiter 36 cavaliers et membres de la famille Abencerrajes dans la salle situ\u00e9e au sud de la cour des Lions qui porte aujourd’hui leur nom. La couleur rouge\u00e2tre de la pierre de la fontaine proviendrait de ce massacre sanguinaire. Mais d’apr\u00e8s Washington Irving ces faits ne seraient pas r\u00e9els et \u00e9maneraient d’une confusion historique avec d’anciens \u00e9mirs nasrides.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Legend of the Gate of Justice<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
On the door of the Tower of Justice, one of the main entrances to the Alhambra, is represented on the interior arch a key. The outer arch is decorated with a hand whose fingers symbolize the five pillars of Islam (belief in one God, the five daily prayers, alms, fasting and the pilgrimage to La Mecca). The legend says that the day when this key and this hand will come together, that is, when the Alhambra collapses, will coincide with the end of the world.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
<\/span>Legend of the Moor's Chair<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Higher on the Sabika hill where the Alhambra is erected, there is a very special chair. It was in this precise spot that Boabdil the Moor watched helplessly during his reign the growing revolt in his city of Granada. From all up there, he was able to contemplate the extent of the damage caused by this insurrection in the Nasrid palaces and throughout the Andalusian city.<\/p>\n
