Place: Ġarnāṭa (Granada)
Kind: Palace
Built: 13th century

A 13th-century Naṣrid mansion in the Realejo, built over an Almohad shrine, which Muḥammad II bought in 1290 and turned into a palace; at the end of the 15th century it belonged to Boabdil's sister. Renaissance works in 1560 took away most of its Naṣrid layout, but it keeps the courtyard with its pool and a doorway with stucco and wall paintings. It can be visited free during weekday office hours.
