Has anyone ever seen some of the similarities between the palace and the alhambra? I've seen a few pics and videos, and some of it does remind me of the palace. Like the inscriptions, and the windows, balconies and stuff.

Come to think of it, some of the scenes in BatB during Human Again in the garden, kind of remind me of Versailles.

The interior courtyards and stuff do remind me of the palace, just not so much the exterior. Then again, I've only seen a few pictures of it. The outside of the palace makes me think of the Taj Mahal.

These remind me most of the palace. http://cruises.about.com/od/mediterraneancruises/ig/Alhambra-Palace/alhambra005.htm The windows, too http://www.travelpod.com/travel-photo/fenderul31/1/1249297594/a-wall-inside-the-alhambra-palace.jpg/tpod.html http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/cYbSNsUj1ZZdU0Yzb0R20g These remind me of the inscriptions and decorations in the throne room. The 'rails' on the windows, too.

The palace reminds me more of 14th and 15th century Persian architecture. Not surprising, since that's what was used as the reference.
