This work focuses on the architectural and artistic significance of key Islamic monuments in Spain, particularly the Alhambra, the Alcázar, and the Great Mosque of Córdoba. The text aims to present a comprehensive overview of these structures, exploring their history, cultural context, and aesthetic qualities. The opening of the book sets the stage for an in-depth investigation into the rich heritage of these Arab monuments, emphasizing the author's extensive personal experience in restoring the Alhambra. Contreras reflects on the historical importance of these structures, noting their unique architectural features and the challenges of accurately transcribing their names from Arabic to Spanish. He outlines his intention to compile findings from decades of observations into a cohesive narrative that respects both the artistic and historical aspects while acknowledging the complex cultural exchanges that defined this period in Spain's history, particularly during the Muslim conquests and their subsequent influence on Spanish art and architecture.
