GRANADA
THE CITY OF THE MOOR
Granada is the creation of the Moors. Its history is all of them--the
record of their glory and their fall. The Pomegranate, as its conqueror
styled it, ripened only in the warm sunshine of Islam, and withered with
its decline. Under the Christian, it fell from the rank of a splendid
capital to a poor provincial town. Now it subsists merely as a great
monument to a vanished race and a dead civilisation.
