Museum of Miniature Found Objects

The current great moment in world history on display at the Museum of Miniature Found Objects commemorates the moment on 2 January 1492, when Abu 'abd-Allah Muhammed XII, the final Moorish ruler of Granada, looked across his beloved city and the magnificent Alhambra palace for the last time, as he and his family moved south into exile. Grief-stricken by his banishment, the rocky prominence on which he stopped for this last view is know as el último suspiro del Moro (the Moor's last sigh).
