Summary

Description
English: General plan of the Alhambra.

The legend corresponding to the numbers is provided below. A blank version, without numbers, has also been uploaded (see "Alhambra general plan (blank).png"), if editors want to make their own labels.

Source: This is a recreation of a map published in: Dodds, Jerrilynn D. (ed.) (1992). "Al-Andalus: The Art of Islamic Spain". New York: The Metropolitan Museum of Art. ISBN 0870996371. p. 130 (full book available here) Another version of the same map is also published in: Puerta-Vílchez, José Miguel (2021), "The Alhambra and the Generalife. The Eternal Landmarks of Islamic Granada." in Boloix-Gallardo, Bárbara (ed.) "A Companion to Islamic Granada". Brill. ISBN 978-90-04-42581-1. p. 367.

Some very minor modifications (mostly simplifications or clean-up of details), and the addition of the Rawda (Rauda) outline, were made according to the more detailed site plan provided in: López, Jesús Bermúdez (2011). "The Alhambra and the Generalife: Official Guide". TF Editores. ISBN 9788492441129.

Identification of the different numbered structures and locations was also done according to the same sources above and various other scholarly sources.

Darker structures are generally of Nasrid origin (per the source map, see below), while the most significant later Christian Spanish or modern structures are in dark grey. Note, however, that this is marked only in a very general way, not in every detail; the main purpose is to highlight the Nasrid Palaces from the rest of the buildings nearby, for example. Various Spanish modifications to the Nasrid structures are not marked out in grey and some Nasrid remains among the later structures are not marked in black, as the source maps don't provide that level of detail and it might make the map visually messier.
