Photographer’s Note

During the colonial times, Granada, nicknamed "La Gran Sultana", in recognition of its beautiful colonial architecture, suffered a lot of devastation after debastation but despite those events, it managed to maintain its original colonial style. The city, due to its importance, was a target for invaders and pirates, including the famous William Walker who almost completely destroyed the city back in 1856. However, because this city has always being a very prosperous one, it was able to bounce back after each and every attack as one can still notice its colonial structures almost intact.
