Palacio de Dar-Al-Horra, Nasrid palace in Albaicín quarter, Granada, Spain

The palace features a rectangular courtyard with a small pool, surrounded by porticoes on both north and south sides of the building.

Built during the reign of Yusuf III between 1408 and 1417, this palace served as residence for Aisha al-Horra, mother of Granada's last Nasrid sultan.

The name Dar al-Horra translates to House of the Free Woman, reflecting the status of noble women in Nasrid royal households.

The palace maintains its original Islamic architectural elements and Nasrid decorations, with carved inscriptions visible throughout the plaster walls.

After the Catholic conquest in 1492, the palace transformed into a Franciscan convent for nuns, becoming part of the Monastery of Santa Isabel la Real.
