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

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.

To get to know me better, do follow me on Facebook!
