Los constructores de la Alhambra

In the year 1340, in the middle of the 14th century, the Kingdom of Granada seemed doomed and destined to disappear from the map. However, Yusuf I, its Sultan, commissioned the construction of a building: an Islamic palace that reflected the splendor of his people and was destined to house the emir and the court of the Nasrid Kingdom.

This is the story behind Spain's most representative monumental complex and the men and women who made its existence possible. The documentary 'The builders of the Alhambra' brings together through actors the testimonies of the men and women who built the emblematic fortress of Granada, today one of the great hallmarks of Andalusia.

Created by producer, director and screenwriter Isabel Fernández, the film has script support from Margarita Melgar, known for 'Seis días corrientes' (2021) and 'La luz de Elnar' (2017), which has been nominated for the Gaudí awards five times and won twice.

The cast of actors who will step into the shoes of the master builders and other important people are Jorge de Juan (Al Jayyab), Sofian El Banaissati (Ibn Zamrak), Farah Hamed (Umm al Hassan), Adil Koukouh (Mohammed V), Hamid Krim (Yusuf I), Alicia Mohino (Fatima), Mehdi Regragui (Ibn Khaldun) and Amr Waked (Ibn al-Katib).
