An entrance to the Nasrid Palace at the Alhambra in Granada, Spain.  The Alhambra, a fortress with several palaces inside, was built by the Muslims during Muslim rule in Spain between the years 800 and 1400.  Granada was the last Spanish city to fall to the Christians in 1492.  Note the Arabic inscriptions above the columns.  These inscriptions are actually poems about the glory of Allah.
