Nasrid Palaces

Without a doubt, the Nasrid Palaces are the jewel of the Alhambra. They were built at different times by the Kings of Granada. - El Mexuar: Built by Ismail I. It is the oldest palace in the complex. It has undergone more modifications than any other. Inside we find a beautiful oratory with the Albaicín neighborhood in the background.- Comares Palace: Built by Yusuf I. A powerful 46 meter tower that is reflected in a large pond surrounded by a marble floor. Inside, the Hall of the Ambassadors where the Nasrid power and the Sultan's throne were centralized. On its ceiling there is a spectacular representation of the 7 heavens and the paradise of Islam.- Palace of the Lions: Built by Mohamed V. Inside the Palace we have 4 spaces: the Mocárabes Room, the Abencerrajes Room, the Kings Room and the Two Sisters Room. In the center, the famous Fountain of the Lions, icon of the Alhambra. - El Partal: Surrounded by gardens and a large pool.

Palace of Carlos V

It was ordered to be built by Emperor Carlos V. Created to act as a prelude to the Nasrid Palaces. Its imposing Renaissance style stands out in the middle of the Nasrid palatine city. It was built by Pedro de Machuca, who trained in Italy with names like Michelangelo and Raphael. Upon his death, his son Luis de Machuca continued with the works. The peculiarity of this palace is that it is circular on the inside and square on the outside. It has a total of 64 columns, for its construction it was necessary to open a door (the Puerta de los Carros) in the Arab wall, to introduce the columns and materials.
