Alhambra

After seeing Shinto Shrines in Japan, Buddhist Temples in Thailand, and Cathedrals in Rome, I have finally wondered upon one of the most impressive Muslim palaces ever built, the Alhambra. This was a palace used during the Morish occupation of Spain during the midddle ages and consists of a military base, palace, and royal gardens all on a small mountain overlooking the city of Granada. FYI...the water is green because they still use the ancient aqueducts used in the middle ages. Pretty impressive considering considering the source river is about a half mile from the palace.

I think it would be more impressive if the water wasn't green. You should get them a sign telling people not to pee in the pool.
