초록
The Alhambra, the most famous symbol of the presence and glory of Muslim civilization in Spain, is not one structure but a complex of buildings that embodies centuries of myth, history, conflict, and culture. This paper will explain how and why the Alhambra has been one of the most contested sites on earth, and how its natural surroundings, architecture, gardens, and decoration mirror the struggles, the creative genius, the dreams, and the desires of all those who have fought, lived, prayed, and meditated in the “Pearl Set in Emeralds,” or simply visited it. Inasmuch as it has been a site of conflict, the Alhambra is also quite possibly the single most enduring monument to Spain’s uneasy attempts to create a civilization of convivencia in the midst of a world of divisions – a dream that lives on to this day.
Abstract
The Alhambra, the most famous symbol of the presence and glory of Muslim civilization in Spain, is not one structure but a complex of buildings that embodies centuries of myth, history, conflict, and culture. This paper will explain how and why the Alhambra has been one of the most contested sites on earth, and how its natural surroundings, architecture, gardens, and decoration mirror the struggles, the creative genius, the dreams, and the desires of all those who have fought, lived, prayed, and meditated in the “Pearl Set in Emeralds,” or simply visited it. Inasmuch as it has been a site of conflict, the Alhambra is also quite possibly the single most enduring monument to Spain’s uneasy attempts to create a civilization of convivencia in the midst of a world of divisions – a dream that lives on to this day.
