scenic cities

In Granada, in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada, is perhaps the most famous example of Islamic architecture.  It was originally a small fortress (1258-1358), but was significantly rebuilt after 1492 and used as a palace.

I have never been to Chattanooga, and have no idea what these buildings would be in this 1940s postcard showing the city center and the Tennessee River and Lookout Mountain.  It's official nickname is the "Scenic City".

    The Alhambra is stunning. Not sure on those Chatanooga buildings.

    I do like the Chattanooga postcard style. Great building pictured on the Granada card.

    I've been to Granada, but never to Chattanooga. The name is quite intriguing!
