About the Alhambra by Owen Jones
This publication is the most remarkable, colorful, and accurate study of the
Alhambra, an ornate palace in Spain constructed between 1238 and 1358 by the
Moorish ruler Al Ahmar and his successors. Owen Jones, the well-known British
architect, designer, and theorist, initially encountered Islamic patterns and
architecture during his travels to Greece, Turkey, the Holy Land, and Egypt
in the 1830s. He shared his new found interest with Jules Goury, a young
French architect.
