Alhamra is the heart of Lahore as Lahore is the cultural capital of the country. Alhamra is basically an Arabic word, which literally means a woman in “Red Clothes”. This was the name initially given to the Royal enclave at Cordoba Spain by the Arabs. The palaces and other buildings were constructed in red bricks. The idea of constructing buildings of this style for an Arts Council was conceived by our illustrious Architect Mr. Nayyar Ali Dada.The building of Alhamra Arts Council was being awarded with Agha Khan Award for architecture in the seven Award distributing ceremony being held in 1998 at the Alhambra in Granada, Spain.
