The inner part of the coin depicts the Patio de los Leones of the Alhambra in Granada. Beneath it are the issuing country “ESPAÑA” and the year “2011”. The mintmark is embossed above the coin design.

The outer ring of the coin depicts the twelve stars of the European flag.
Background on the topic
After the conquest of Granada by the Catholic Monarchs in 1492, the complex continued to be used as a Christian royal residence and was partly altered. Among other things, the later-constructed Palace of Emperor Charles V dates from this period.
