Built by a Moorish monarch, the name of this stunning fortress means "the red". Where is this red-earth palace?

Alhambra, or "the red," was built primarily by Moorish King Ibn al-Aḥmar starting in the mid-13th century. Mounted upon a plateau in Granada, Spain, the rare fortress overlooks the entire city, surrounded by a park planted with myrtles, roses, and oranges by the Moors. Modified through the ages by those who took power, the columns remain inscribed with Arabic, including poetry and passages of the Quran.
