Alhambra Replica

The Alhambra Replica of Taman Tamadun Islam, Kuala Terengganu, is a replica of an Islamic monument in Andalusia, Spain. It was built by the Moorish rulers around the mid 14th century, when area was under the Emirate of Granade in Al-Andalus. The last Moorish emirs constructed the palaces at Alhambra while its courts were built during the Nasrid Dynasty. After Alhambra was reconquered by the Catholic monarchs in 1492, a section of it was used by the Chritian rulers. Charles V, the Holy Roman Emperor, built his palace within the Nasrid fortifications in 1527.

Over time, Alhambra fell into disrepair. It was only rediscovered in the 19th century by European scholars and travelers. Now restored, it is one of the biggest tourist attractions in Spain. UNESCO has also recognised it as a World Heritage Site.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
