How did they do that? The incredible hydraulic engineering behind the Alhambra Palace

Granada’s Alhambra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is not just a testament to Moorish architecture. It is also a marvel of hydraulic engineering, built from the 13th century onwards. Its water system, including the Acequia del Sultán (Sultan’s Channel), brought life to its lush gardens, shimmering pools, and iconic fountains, turning an arid hilltop into an oasis.
