Calat Alhambra, more commonly known as Alhambra, is a palace and fortress complex located in Granada, Andalusia. It was used as a stronghold by the Moors of Spain in the 1400s.
History
Renaissance
In 1492, the Spanish laid siege to the fortress in an effort to drive out the Moorish King Muhammad XII. However, the Templars had secretly captured Muhammed to prevent him from formally surrendering, in an attempt to prolong the war and keep Queen Isabella I occupied and her funds low. This would enable the Templars to prevent Christoffa Corombo from traveling and discovering the New World, as he would not be able to make the journey without a benefactor.[1]
While in Spain, the Assassin Ezio Auditore da Firenze, under the guidance of Raphael Sánchez, infiltrated the castle and freed Muhammad. He then managed to facilitate his surrender, effectively ending the war and freeing the way for the funds to Christoffa's expedition.[1]
Modern times
In 2012, the location was used as a virtual training map by Abstergo Industries for the training of their Animus recruits, as part of the first stage of the Animi Training Program. It only became available after a system update had been installed.
Alhambra, like most of the simulated locations in the primary and secondary stage, had two aesthetic variations. As such, it could be utilized during the day or the night.
Trivia
- Calat Alhambra is a corruption of its original Arabic name, Qal'at Al-Hamra, from words qal'a ("fort") and al-hamra ("the red").
- The Dama Rossa, an Animi Avatar based on an unknown woman from the Renaissance, described the location as a "pearl among diamonds."
