Alhambra water system

The Alhambra water system was an advanced and sophisticated network built by the Nasrid rulers in medieval Spain to supply the Alhambra palace with fresh water. It incorporated aqueducts, channels, and fountains, utilizing gravity and natural slopes to transport water from nearby sources. This system provided drinking water, irrigation, and ornamental features, enhancing the palace’s comfort and beauty. Its engineering efficiency allowed for a reliable water supply in a desert-like environment, showcasing the importance of water management and ingenuity in medieval Islamic architecture.
