The story of the Nasrid Palaces
The Nasrid Palaces were the residence of the sultans of Granada, built mainly in the 14th century under Yusuf I and Muhammad V. Walls are covered in carved plaster, coloured tiles and Arabic poetry and Qur'anic verses.
The Court of the Myrtles reflects the Comares Tower in its long pool, and the Hall of the Ambassadors was the throne room. In the Palace of the Lions, twelve marble lions support a fountain, and the Hall of the Abencerrajes has a dazzling star-shaped muqarnas dome.
