Through the years the Alhambra's construction (eg walls) would change to meet the latest in military thought. For example, more rounded fortress walls were integrated to withstand the advent of canon ball bombardment. A whole lot of effort, lives, wealth and creativity went into making Alhambra impenetrable. It is ironic to me the place would fall without bloodshed but due to deception from the Spanish crown of Ferdinand and Isabela.
