ABSTRACT
The city of Granada, Spain located in the south of the Iberian Peninsula. The monumental complex of the Alhambra has been present in all periods of the city. Through its architectural styles it narrates history across the common reference element of its “genius loci”. In the 13th century, Muhammad I established his reign in this city due to its geographical characteristics and also the existence of important fortified buildings. This being the legacy of the Islamic period in the city. The case study of interventions in historic centers after damage is focused on four areas within the Alhmabra: Tower of Vela, Tower of Comares, Hall of the Barca, Palace and garden of the Generalife where damage occurred due to fires, earthquakes, lighting and/or explosions. The interventions carried out after these events in order to conserve and restore the space, such as the works carried out by Torres Balbas and Prieto Moreno.
