Hall of Kings, Medieval Nasrid hall in Alhambra, Granada, Spain

The Hall of Kings spans over 30 meters in length, featuring three square rooms connected by double arches and decorated with geometric patterns on the walls.

In 1492, the last Nasrid sultan Boabdil handed over the keys of Granada to the Catholic Monarchs in this significant chamber of the Alhambra.

The ceiling paintings depict ten members of the Nasrid dynasty alongside scenes of medieval life, mixing both Muslim and Christian artistic elements.

Visitors enter through three porticoes with triple arches from the Court of the Lions, where natural light illuminates the intricate mocarabe decorations.

The hall contains five alcoves separated by four small chambers, with three wooden domes displaying medieval hunting scenes and royal gatherings.
