The water is running again from the mouths of the lions in the Patio de los
Leones in the Alhambra after a ten year drought. The twelve 300 kilogram
lions, each with a different face, have been restored and are now back in their proper place.
The patio, part of the monument the construction of which was ordered by Sultan Mohamed V will, later this Spring, look as it did in the XIV century. The white marble will be recovered by then, the same material which has been the floor of the patio for the past 700 years.
A team of more than 200 people have been involved in the restoration programme at a cost of 2.1 million €.
