Nasrid Palaces of the Alhambra<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

If we talk about Granada and the Alhambra, we must inevitably stop at the Nasrid palaces. This palace complex, which was created as the residence of the kings of Granada, is composed of three palaces: <\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Comares Palace<\/strong><\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

This Nazari palace was built in order to arouse emotions. It was ordered to be built by Yusuf I in the Alhambra<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/a>although it would be his son Mohamed V who would finish it. The predominant materials used are wood, plaster and ceramics, drawing geometric and vegetal motifs. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The purpose of this imposing ornamentation was to reflect the wealth, abundance and eternity of the Nasrid kingdom of Granada.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The facade of the palace of Comares<\/span><\/em><\/strong> is one of the masterpieces of the Nasrid palaces of Granada and of Nasrid art in general, due to the perfection in the distribution of space that was achieved with the impeccable application of golden proportions.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Also noteworthy is the Patio de los Arrayanes<\/strong><\/em><\/span>the Hall of the Barca,<\/strong><\/em><\/span> the Hall of the Ambassadors<\/strong> <\/em><\/span>and the Bath of Comares.<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Palace of the Lions<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/a><\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

This palace is located to the east of that of Comares, occupies what used to be its former garden, and was built during the second government of Muhammad V.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The central axis of the building, consisting of 1900 m2, is the famous Patio de los Leones, from whose name the palace takes its name. This area is designed in a rectangular plan that is flanked by an arcade of 124 columns of Macael marble from Almeria, and delicate stucco panels. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The courtyard enclosure is a tremendously beautiful space, which is a perfect example of the unparalleled ability of the Nasrid dynasty to integrate architecture and water, as the courtyard is surrounded by four rooms from which flows a small spring that unifies in the center and represents the four rivers of Paradise described in the Koran.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Mexuar<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h2>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Of the Nasrid palaces in Granada, the Mexuar is perhaps the most complex to know how it was built due to its numerous reconstructions and restorations, although based on quotes from the poet Ibn Zamrak, everything points to it being part of the primitive Nasrid palaces.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This last palace receives its name from the Arabic term Maswar, place where the Council of Ministers met. In addition, it was also the enclave where the Sultan dispensed justice. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

All that remains of the complex is the eastern nave and the gallery and Machuca Tower.<\/p>\n
