GRENADA.

From a Drawing by J. F. Lewis.

GRENADA is the scene of the "

very mournful ballad on the siege and conquest of Alhama," inserted in the 10th volume of the "Life and Works of Lord Byron."

This view is on the river Daro, looking up from the Ponte del Carbon. In the distance on the right is seen the watch-tower of the Alhambra, which commanded the town on the left, overhanging the river, are the backs of the houses of the Zacatin, where, after Boabdil had delivered up the city, the tradespeople still fought for two days, and defended themselves from house to house.
