The Alhambra palace is located in which city?

• A. Granada
• B. Seville
• C. Madrid
• D. Cadiz

Answer: (A)

Granada, in southern Spain’s Andalusia, is where the Alhambra palace and fortress complex sits, perched at the foot of the Sierra Nevada. This renowned site showcases Moorish architecture with its intricate tilework, arches, and lush courtyards, reflecting its Nasrid dynasty origins. The other cities listed are real Spanish capitals or port cities, but none host the Alhambra—Seville has its own famous Alcázar and other landmarks, Madrid houses the royal palace and government centers, and Cadiz is known for its port. So Granada is the correct city.
