After 20 years of being closed to the public and 10 of restoration work, the Alhambra’s famous Patio of the Lions is now open again to the public.

Yesterday, 27 July, the lions of the Alhambra’s most emblematic patio returned to the Nasrid Palaces, after three years of restoration work. The Trustees of the Alhambra and Generalife once again commissiones Azafatas Alhambra to provide event staff for the parallel exhibition "Lions, the restoration of a symbol", held in the small chapels surrounding the crypt of the Palace of Charles V.
