La Casa Real

La Casa Real (The Royal House or Palace)

La Casa Real is frequently referred to as the Casa Real Vieja (Old Royal House) when distinguishing the Nasrite alcazars (palaces) with their courts and surrounding structures from the Christian buildings of the Alhambra. In keeping with Muslim tradition, reception salons and the royal apartments known as the Chamber of the Lions accompany the palaces. These once and again luxurious chambers are the work of Muhammed V, and display the full talents of Granada’s Muslim artists. Inside, the chamber has an almost tranquilizing effect, so delicate is its architectural detail.
