Wild Castles - Alhambra

Europe’s castles are world-famous – Neuschwanstein, Carcassonne, or the Alhambra. Less known is the animal world around them – and within their walls. Wild Castles takes the viewer on a discovery trip to Europe’s most famous castles and palaces, but discovers more than just the history of the rulers and wars.

The series explores the wild beauty of nature in which the buildings stand, and with which they are connected in a fascinating way. For the rulers have not only changed nature around themselves – nature has also written history.

In the sun-baked plains of southern Spain, between Europe's only desert and the mighty Sierra Nevada, lies Alahambra, a magnificent Moorish palace of lush gardens and shimmering fountains. Join us on a sweeping tour of the wildlife within, including Iberian frogs, white-bellied hedgehogs, and more.
