The Palaces of
the Nazaries were constructed by Ismail
I, Yusuf I and Muhammad V (1312
to1391 AD) during the Nasrid
dynasty. Many people
report visiting the Alhambra to be one of the
highlights of their visit to Spain. The Palacios
Nazaries must be considered the highlight of a visit
to the Alhambra. Here you get to see one of the few
Moorish Palaces still existing in Spain.

Hall
of the Mexuar: This
is one of the first rooms encountered in the
Palace. It is also the most perplexing. The
room feels to be a hodgepodge of structures
with no clear purpose to the design.
Considered one of the oldest areas in the
palace, it has been remodeled a number of times. |

Patio del Mexuar:
Here the
