Right
Philip ClarkHOST
32:02
... amazing place called the Alhambra Palace.
Philip ClarkHOST
32:05
Not a castle, again.
Philip ClarkHOST
32:06
Or is it? Or maybe it was.
Philip ClarkHOST
32:07
Was it?
Dan JonesGUEST
32:09
Yeah.
Dan JonesGUEST
32:09
I mean, the, the Alhambra was the, the product of, um, of the Reconquista.
Dan JonesGUEST
32:13
So this is the, the ...

Ah.
Meryanne Loum-MartinGUEST

And the, the most phenomenal things in Spain are Andalusia, Granada, Seville, Alhambra, Co- uh, Cordoba, et cetera, and this is Moroccan.
Myrdith Leon-McCormackHOST
10:07
Wow.
Meryanne Loum-MartinGUEST
10:07
So, you know, every time I hear Spanish colonial, I say, "Well, you know, follow the chronology and it all started in Morocco." You know?

Mm.
Richard VaughanHOST
11:26
You can hear it.
Mabel TaylorHOST
52:04
Let's.
Madeline PorsellaHOST
52:06
One thing I will say about the building is that in my research, this style was described as the Alhambra style, like the style of ornament.
Madeline PorsellaHOST
52:16
So there is
Abigail SandlerGUEST
52:17
that actually, as you said, after you said that.

So the fact that they're taking the steel and trying to imitate timber frame using this new material, it's like what they did at Saint-Jean-Bievre, where they were using the steel to elongate the stone columns, and they're using a neoclassical vernacular, but... kind of testing the limits of this new material they're doing the same thing here with the steel frame and wood um and it's really interesting
Mabel TaylorHOST
60:00
It also feels like the ornament is very folksy or something.
Mabel TaylorHOST
60:04
Like it, it reminds me of, I don't know these, I'm curious about like in the post, like in the new third Republic of France, like how this building represents or doesn't represent a kind of like inherent Frenchness, which given the fact that it's inspired by Alhambra, like, or that it's sort of Orientalist in nature, like maybe it doesn't, but there's something so specific about it.
Mabel TaylorHOST
60:29
Yeah,
English JohnGUEST
12:25
A bit about Granada, stunning.
English JohnGUEST
12:28
You know, not massive in comparison to other cities I've been to, but you've got the Alhambra, which is incredible.
English JohnGUEST
12:35
That's like an old
John TowellHOST
12:37
Moorish earth castle.
TahneeHOST
28:16
Also, when I was recently in Spain, there were a couple of key items where we had the same thing happen.
TahneeHOST
28:23
For example, being in Granada and going to the Alhambra, the tickets that we were looking for had sold out.
TahneeHOST
28:31
It was over a month in advance.
TahneeHOST
28:34
We were able to get tickets through the Spanish version of the website because as soon as we converted it to English, there were no tickets.

Damascus and Ispahan, Agra and Delhi, Cordova and Granada, Prusa and Constantinople possess elements of beauty and features of style which Cairo has not, and they enlarge and complete our understanding of Arab art.
speaker_2NARRATOR
26:36
But to view that art in its purity, uncorrupted by the mechanical detail of the Alhambra, unspoiled by the over-elaboration of Delhi, we must study the mosques and tombs of Cairo.
speaker_2NARRATOR
26:50
The blessed conservatism of the East has happily maintained much of the old city in its beautiful, ruinous, unprogressive disorder.
speaker_2NARRATOR
26:59
There are, of course, new houses and rebuilt fronts and even glass window sashes.

The disturbance began when En-Nasir's workmen, digging a lake called Nasir's Pool near the Lion's Bridge, west of the Luke and close to the mosque of Tabars, undermined the church of Ez-Zuri, which En-Nasir had commanded to be respected.
AvailleNARRATOR
390:50
Without the knowledge of the government, the people rushed to the church one Friday after prayers and utterly demolished it.
AvailleNARRATOR
390:58
Thence they went to the church of St. Mina in the Alhambra and sacked it, and did the like to the Church of the Maidens by the seven water mills, dragging out the nuns and pillaging and burning everything.
AvailleNARRATOR
391:12
The sultan was indignant when the smoke of the burning churches told the tale of disaster, and sent troops at once to coerce the mob.

And let me see, at what time should I be likely to find her? and no of course not darling i wouldn't think of saying a word to jim but your father surely i may speak to your father nona hesitated i think father knows about it as much as he need she answered her hand on the door ah your father always knows everything pauline placidly acquiesced the prospect of the talk with her daughter-in-law barely ruffled her new-found peace it was a pity lita was restless but nowadays all the young people were restless perhaps it would be as well to say a word to kitty landish flighty and inconsequent as she was it might open her eyes to find that she was likely to have her niece back on her hands mrs percy landish's hands were always full to overflowing with her own difficulties a succession of ingenious theories of life and the relentless pursuit of originality had landed her in a state of chronic embarrassment pecuniary social and sentimental the announcement that leto was tired of jim and threatened to leave him would fall like a bombshell on that precarious roof which figured in the new york directory as somewhere in the east hundreds but was recorded in the social register as number one viking court mrs landish's last fad had been to establish herself on the banks of the east river which she and a group of friends had adorned with a cluster of reinforced cement bungalows first christened el patio but altered to viking court after mrs landish had read in an illustrated weekly that the vikings who had discovered america ages before columbus had not as previously supposed effected their first landing at vineyard haven but at a spot not far from the site of her dwelling Cement, at an early stage, is malleable, and the Alhambra motifs had hastily given way to others from the prows of Nordic ships, from silver torques and runic inscriptions, the latter easily contrived out of Arabic surahs from the Koran.

Before these new ornaments were dry, Mrs. Landish and her friends were camping on the historic spot, and after four years of occupancy they were camping still, in Mrs. Manford's sense of the word.
Thomas CopelandNARRATOR
11:01
A hurried telephone call had assured Pauline that she could see Mrs. Landish directly after lunch, and at two o'clock her motor drove up to Viking Court, which opened on a dilapidated riverfront and was cynically overlooked by tall tenement houses with an underpinning of delicatessen stores.
