Cuarto Real de Santo Domingo, 13th-century Nasrid palace in Realejo district, Granada, Spain.

The palace features a square reception hall measuring 6 meters on each side, positioned atop a bastion tower of the former city walls.

Muhammad II constructed this residence between 1283 and 1302, which later became part of the Dominican convent following Granada's conquest in 1492.

The main hall exhibits architectural elements including geometric patterns on wooden ceilings, zellij tiles on lower walls, and carved stucco decorations.

The palace contains exhibition spaces of 100 square meters each, with guided visits available through advance reservations at Plaza de los Campos.

Three large windows set in deep alcoves provided views of the Genil River, while symmetrical gardens with myrtles and orange trees adorned the exterior.
