A bit of our past… The Ziri Wall
Moorish forces under Tariq ibn-Ziyad first took the city in 711. The “Ziríes” or “Zirí” (Zirids) dynasty was a clan of the Sinhaya, of Bereber origin, that in March 1013 founded the Kingdom Taifa of Granada, becoming independent. By the end of the eleventh century, the city had spread across the Darro river to reach what is now the site of the Alhambra.
The Moors ruled until January 2, 1492, when Boabdil handed control of Granada to Los Reyes Católicos (“The Catholic Monarchs”), after the siege of the city.
Our buildings have provenance: You can sleep with a part of the ancient history of Granada, we have uncovered and restored part of the first Ziri Wall of Granada (circa 11th Century). It is recognised as historical and archaeological heritage of national interest, and has been incorporated in our historical buildings (17th century Casa Roja and 19th century Casa Albero).
The Ziri Wall, according to well known archaeologists, is the best integration of an important archaeological site made by a hotel or apartment in Granada.
