The Lions of Alhambra are back!

The Patio de los Leones, the Lions patio in the Alhambra Palace in Granada finally got its lions back. After five years of thorough restoration, cleaning and reparation the 12 marble lions, dating from the XIV century will  be functioning again as the beautiful fountain it was meant to be. Now the lions are clean you can notice that every lion has a different fur and different expression.Only the floor of the patio has yet to be redone with the white marble from Macael this spring and then we can enjoy this patio in all its splendour.
