The Nasrid Places were buiklt by variois Sultans of Al-Andalus between the C12 and C14 although they were modified by the Catholic Kings who conquered the area in C15.

This is the patio of the C16 Palace Charles V but was only completed in C20. It is on a grand renaisanace scale and looks rather out of place in this setting although a magnificent building in its own right
