You´re welcome LaPrincess.
The castles are built in a time, where the Sultans wanted to be a little bit western.
You can find Islamic architecture more in the rooms. But I will look after castles with more Islamic art.
And I hope you have a pleasant time in Turkey, if you want to visit it!
Thanks! I'm 95% going. :-) I'm a photography enthusiat. I look at palaces more from artistic angles. I love age, rustic and unique character. I'll have to join a tour group in Turkey. I'll see whether I can spend more time at the Topkapi Palace than the guided tour allows. The paint on some of the other palaces are a little bit too "new" in the photos. I don't like that at all. One reason why I like Alhambra so much is its unique architechure character and it shows its age but it shows it well.
I got some great photos at Alhambra. I reserved two tickets in advance for Alhambra, one at 10AM and one at 3PM. I went in to photograph Generalife, the summer palace on the same hilltop site as the Nasrid Palace, when it opens the door at 8:30AM and then went in to Nasrid Palace twice to photograph it in different light. When I finished by 6PM, I went to Albacin, the Arabic quarter on the opposite hill, to photograph Alhambra basking in the golden light at sunset. I spent the entire day photographying Alhambra. I can do that because I was traveling alone in Spain at the time. I'll see what I can do in Turkey.
