Carmen of the Martyrs

The Carmen of the Martyrs is located in the surroundings of the Alhambra, south of the walled enclosure with just over seven hectares known by the Christians as the Corral de Captives, and subsequently Campo de los Mártires. Corral was called Captives in memory of the Christian captives who remained in the Arab prisons. The Carmen of the Martyrs is a romantic set of gardens, a successful blend of French and English styling. Designated an Artistic Garden, its last owner Cristina de la Cruz donated the Carmen de los Mártires to the City of Granada, after a miserable season in which the gardens nearly disappeared. The palace and gardens were partly restored and now it is ideal for taking walks, weddings and official receptions.
