Hello!
Today I want to tell you about one of the most
impressing museum in the world the museum of Alhambra which is situated in
Granada.
The museum was created in 1942 as an
Archaeological Museum. It’s a complex of castles, harems, and courtyards, which
were built by the Islamic dynasty of Nasrid. Today it’s called the “pearl of
Andalusia” and what’s more is believed that it’s a Muslim symbol of paradise
and happiness in all forms on the Earth.
Even if on the first sight we can say that this
castles, seems to be like all the others castles, we are wrong. That is just an
illusion, because, what is the most impressing in this castles, is that the
real treasure is inside of it.
The most impressing is architecture, and all
decorations inside of the castles. The chambers are full of color. On the walls
we can find all kind of geometric or flower’s signs, because the Arabian were
fascinated by science. All of those signs create message and mystery in the
same time. There are also many inscriptions that Allah is a one Good and
Mohamed was his prophet. This art supposed to released us from everyday life
and instead preoccupy the minds of unnecessary ideas, introduced in oneiric
levitation.
We can say that Alhambra is a labyrinth because
if we are in a castles which is surrounded by yard and we want to go from one
room to another, we have to cross the long corridor. What’s interesting, every
room is different and it doesn’t have any special doorway.
The museum has seven halls, the first hall houses thematic exhibitions
and the other halls are located in chronological order.
This museum it’s
something more than just exhibitions and paintings. Every element of it has his
own history and meaning. Visiting Alhambra can be a great lesson of history.
Did you know that for
over seven hundred years Spain was predominately Muslim society, living under
Muslim’s rules?
