Nasrid Palaces:You have to enter the Nasrid Palaces in the half hour time slot you select when you book or buy your tickets. You enter the Nasrid Palace through El Mexuar, this was where the council of ministers held their meetings. It also served as an ante-chamber when the Sultan gave an audience. It is here you get your first glimpse of the fantastic craftsmanship that adorns the walls, floors and ceilings. These palaces are breathtaking. What they must have looked like when they were pristine and colourful you can only imagine. The interior of El Mexuar. Looking out from one of the windows. To the towers of the Alcazaba Views to the North Just part of the elaborate wall carving, the detail must be seen to be believed. If you have never been here ... start making your plans .. This is the decorative wooden ceiling of the Cuarto Dorado. The view to the north from the Palaces. Looking across the patio of the Cuarto Dorado where the Sultan would give audiences to the facade of the Comares Palace. This archway is incredible. Back from outside the Comares Palace across the patio of the Cuarto Dorado.. Inside the Comares Palace, a gilded ceiling. The Court of Myrtles. The south facade of the Comares Palace Part of the anteroom to the most important room in the Comares Palace, the Sala de la Barca. The Comares or Ambassadors Hall. One of the ambassadors? My mother Val Forster and Jane The south facade of the Comares Palace. Reflections. The Palace of the Lions.

The famous courtyard and lion fountain. There are a number of salons and rooms built in cruciform around the courtyard. View from the palace. A last look at the Palace of the Lions. The Lindaraja area.
Below is the Patio de la Lindaraja, originally it was a lower garden of the palace of the lions and open to the landscape. It was cloistered in the 16th century.
This is the Patio de la Reja. Around the patio runs a gallery these photos were taken from this gallery. Down in the Patio de Lindaraja. Orange trees, the sound of birds and the water ... a fantastic place. El Partal. El Palicio del Pórtico A view across to the Generalife. The Partal Gardens and the Towers Walk leads to the Generalife. We loved the Nasrid Palaces.
