Description: The Alhambra is one of the most famous archaeological sites worldwide, yet knowledge of it remains very partial, focussing on the medieval palaces. This book addresses that imbalance, examining the adjacent urban and industrial zone.
Brief description: ALBERTO GARCÍA PORRAS is Senior Lecturer at the Medieval History Department, University of Granada.
Review Quotes: Undoubtedly, this research output can be used by archaeology students to understand the methodology applied to the case of Secano. The monograph shows a new face of the Alhambra that, in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, lost its function as a palatium, becoming a residential area of industrial and domestic activities.--Oskar J.
