Step into these castles and you will get an experience vastly different than any palace in Asia. For the most interesting castles, visit the European Palaces which are honourably designated as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Here are some of the oldest, largest and most famous palaces in Europe that will be a thrilling highlight on any trip.<\/p>\n

Moorish Masterpiece – Alhambra, Spain<\/strong><\/h2>\n

UNESCO Palace in Spain<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nothing quite prepares you for the incredible location of the\u00a0Alhambra\u00a0in Granada, Spain<\/a>. This fortress-palace complex is a magnificent UNESCO World Heritage monument perched on the edge of a sheer rocky precipice overlooking the city.<\/p>\n

\"Columns\u00a0Getty Images<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

The original 11th century palace was built by a grand vizier of one of Granada\u2019s Zirid sultans, and during the 13th and 14th centuries it was restyled as a fortified enclave by the ruling Nasrad emirs. Renaissance additions were made by the Holy Roman Emperor, Carlos V, in 1527.<\/p>\n

In yet another turbulent twist in Spanish history, Napoleon\u2019s troops attempted to blow up the complex in 1812. Fortunately for us, they failed. Watchtowers, mosques, schools, baths, a mint and even a royal cemetery have been lost over time, but what remains is still huge.<\/p>\n

The Alhambra complex includes the solid Alcazaba (fortress), the Nasrid Palaces, Court of Lions, the hulking Palace of Carlos V, Museum of the Alhambra, the Generalife gardens and St Mary\u2019s Church (a former mosque). Terraced gardens, marble lions, lace-like stucco, hand-painted tiles, fountains and a cedar-star ceiling enthrall, impress and humble the 6000 visitors that tramp through the Alhambra\u2019s maze of courtyards every day.<\/p>\n

The Most Famous Palace in the World –\u00a0Versailles, France<\/strong><\/h2>\n

UNESCO Palace in Paris<\/strong><\/p>\n

A relative newcomer by comparison, the grand\u00a0Ch\u00e2teau de Versailles, or Palace of Versailles, was built by Louis XIV at the pinnacle of his reign. It epitomised the bourgeois lifestyle of the king and his court from 1682, which the brutal French Revolution 107 years later swept away.<\/p>\n
