Nasrid Palaces

We will visit Nasrid Palaces.Visit the heart of the Alhambra, the Nasrid Palaces. Moorish-style patios, and royal quarter. You will get details how opulent palaces were built for Muslim rulers.Mohammed ben Al-Hamar (Mohammed I) was the first king to move to the Alcazaba. Abu l-Walid Ismail (fifth king of the dynasty). A palace was built near the Great Mosque (Gran Mezquita) but only the Mexuar is now left because Yusuf I destroyed it completely. He started some improvements in the Comares Tower (Torre de Comares), the Court of the Myrtles (Patio de los Arrayanes) and the Baths (Baños). These improvements were finished by Mohammed V, who added them all to the Mexuar, extended the gallery that would later be called Machuca and constructed the Palace of the Lions (Palacio de los Leones). These two kings were the most important ones as regards the construction, reconstruction, and decoration of the Alhambra. So keep calm and enjoy the great view of Nasrid Palace.
