The Red Fortress, a Moorish fortified palace in Andalucia, in the south of Spain.
I am very excited about this place at present and hoping to be able to visit soon.
The pomegranate is the symbol of Granada. Cut one in half then in quarters and the complexity of the seeds of the interior and the red red juice is quite a sight and related I believe to this very experience.
Imtiaz Dharker has written an extraordinary poem through the symbolism of the cutting of a pomegranate, using it as a metaphor to talk about our contemporary situation in the Middle East. A very powerful work.
