Summary

A study of the Alhambra and Generalife reveals that the interpretation of Granada's landscape is deeply influenced by cultural, social, political, and religious factors. This evolving conceptualization is reflected in the architectural design of these sites, particularly between the 15th and 16th centuries, following the conquest of the Islamic city. The research demonstrates that these cultural patterns are not only heritage values but also an integral part of the local landscape history, intertwined with its architectural production. The study employs a comparative analysis of palatine spaces to trace how these influences shaped the intended relationships between architecture and environment.
