Of course, this Spanish Alhambra is the world monument in itself among all monuments included into Spain heritage. Most will find it has beautiful closeness between Moorish style architecture with far more detailed palaces with tropical and lush courtyards. Perhaps the most intriguing is the so-called Courtyard of the Lions: As was already mentioned, it is rich in stony ornaments; and being placed in shadow, does quite a good copy of Nasrid art. If you look at this beautiful complex then you must have some idea regarding Spain and its honourable past and its relation with the Islamic countries.

2. La Sagrada Família Basilica

One of the prime examples of Antoni Gaudí, undoubtedly is a cathedral of Barcelona called La Sagrada Família. Pictured below and still under construction is one of the newest religious structures, which is among the most popular Spanish monuments. It is evident that Gaudí were pioneers of organic architecture, and the work are the thin conical columns, biomorphic ingratitude, splendid rooms. Individuals could go up the heights of tall towers to view the large view of town that could be why one of the biggest attractions that tourists who visit Barcelona can do is viewing Sagrada familia.

3. Great Mosque of Córdoba

The Great Mosque of Córdoba is an unbearably interesting construction, with the help of which one feels as if he is within a fairytale grove of columns. Straight carving designs and marbles structure of the arches and pillars create an excellent shadow designing inside this ancient structure. This was once a mosque and as such puts it among some of the largest mosque in the Islamic countries and the cathedral that you will find possessing the beautiful mix of the Moorish and the Christianity. In its general sense the look of this historical place reflects richness of Andalusian culture to the maximum.

4. Santiago de Compostela Cathedral

Until recent the last part of the trail of the Way of Saint James is the Santiago de Compostela Cathedral. This gigantic church can be located in Galicia with Romanesque design along with Baroque and Gothic frontage that probably is best looked only. One of them is the most interesting here as it can provide not only impressive view of the Middle Ages city top, but also tell a story of pilgrim’s way through the Europe.

5. Burgos Cathedral

In particular Burgos Cathedral is unique because the only cathedral in Spain is recognized as an object of the World Cultural Heritage for achievements and not for the frames of the cultural objects of some area. It is more like sculpture on the outside with sculptures on the outer outfits and has the best of interior lighting because of the great stained glasses fitted in. People watch the enormous complexities of the features and artistic masterpieces in the structure and thus consider it one of the most popular Cultural sites in Spain.

6. Alcazar of Segovia

The House/Alcazar in conjunction with the Roman aqueduct is believed to have offered a historical characteristic of Segovia. Solid and towering, situated on a hill that rises steeply as if carved up from the ground this construction resides more in a children’s books and is easily distinguished with its towers. The Alcazars boast some of the best view of Segovia and the rest of the country side its palatial roles and defence fortress embarked on makes it one of the most history enriched place of interest.

7. Majorca Cathedral

Actually, the Majorca Cathedral in the capital Palma de Mallorca is a good example of Gothic architecture well situated along the seafront. One of the main ornaments of this part of the construction is the stained-glass window, the rose which illuminates the building. However, the strictly contemporary chapel which was constructed by the world acclaimed artist Miquel Barceló is a modern balm to this historical marvel. Mallorca Cathedral is one of the masterpieces in architectural design in the island of Majorca and because of its strategically positioned near the sea front it becomes one of the best places to tour for anyone visiting such region.
