Why does Alhambra ask for passport?

On the day of your visit to the Alhambra remember to bring your ID card or passport with you. For reasons of security and conservation of the monument, the staff makes identification checks to visitors and it is necessary to show this document with the tickets, which are nominative, personal and non-transferable.
