Palace of Charles V and the Courtyard - built by catolic king in 1527 during Renaissance era which remain unfinish till now - stark contrast to the beauty of Islamic monument
Entrance to Nasid Palaces - a group of royal apartments of remarkable refinement - an earthly paradise of a moving beauty which art and nature blend in vibrant equilibrium
Hall of the Ambassadors or the Throne Room
The Comares Palace, the focus of official life, with the pool of the Courtyard of the Myrtles which reflects the Comares Tower
This patch is the only original tile left from the Islamic era in Granada
