Palacio de Los Olvidados

THE TOWER ROOM
Terrace of the Palacio de los Olvidados from where you can get a breathtaking view of The Alhambra.

In the historic city of Granada we can find the Palacio de Los Olvidados, located on the Cuesta de Santa Inés, in low Albaicín, a neighborhood with such a great history and beauty that was declared World Heritage Site in 1984. The charm of their streets, where time seems to have stopped, still keeps the air of a mixture of cultures, Arabic, Sephardi and Christian. Walking along these narrow streets, full of history, we can find the Palacio de los Olvidados, a 16th century old court house located on the bank of the river Darro, at the foot of Alhambra which will take you back in time.

Contrary to what many people think, the name of  Olvidados ( the Forgotten) refers to the Jews, not the people tortured to death, since the Jewish community lived in Granada for more than fifteen centuries and the name of Granada itself is of Jewish origin.
