The procession of Our Lady of Sorrows, St Mary of the Alhambra held on Holy Saturday in Granada, Spain starts and ends in the Alhambra, built as a citadel and palace for the rulers of the last outpost of Moorish Spain. The Emirate of Granada was run as a more-or-less independent Islamic state within Christian Castile for 250 years until Boabdil finally surrendered to the catholic Kings in 1492.
"La Dolorosa" is carried down the hill from the Alhambra into the centre of Granada.
