Alhambra, Spain

Recommended Videos

The Alhambra was once used as a fortress when the Moors still claimed a part of Spain around the 13th century. The word itself is a Spanish rendering of the Arabic word “qa’lat al-Hamra” which translates to “red castle.” Fittingly enough, the place was built from dusty red stone that was used to create thick walls around the castle. Despite being a fortress, Alhambra still had some beautiful sections around the complex (such as the gardens and baths) which ensured quality accommodations. The fortress went through some rough times during the 1700’s but became a protected and international monument around 1870.

Being such a large fortress, Alhambra has many sections that can be used as control points in Overwatch. Similar to how Lijiang Tower or Nepal are actually one large area, Alhambra could be split into three different Overwatch maps that you can capture. One part could be the Palacio Nazaries filled with beautiful courtyards and sparkling water while another could be Alcazaba that boasts several towers.
