The palace was completed towards the end of Muslim rule of Spain by Yusuf I (1333–1353) and Muhammed V, Sultan of Granada (1353–1391). The Alhambra is a reflection of the culture of the last centuries of the Moorish rule of Al Andalus, brought down to the Nasrid Emirate of Granada. It is a place where artists and intellectuals had taken shelter as the Reconquista by Spanish Christians won victories over Al Andalus. The Alhambra accommodates natural site qualities with raised up structures and gardens, and is a proof to Moorish culture in Spain and the skills of Muslim, Jewish, and Christian artisans, craftsmen, and builders of their era.
