You're standing at the Palace of Charles V, right in the middle of the Alhambra in Granada. Have a look around. Everywhere you see the delicate Moorish palaces of the Nasrids, and then suddenly this: a heavy, severe square block in Italian Renaissance style. That clash is no accident. The palace was meant to show who was in charge now.
