Patio de Santa Isabel, Medieval courtyard in Aljafería Palace, Zaragoza, Spain
The rectangular courtyard features two water pools at its ends and includes marble walkways surrounding a central garden area.
After King Alfonso I conquered Zaragoza, the original Taifa palace structures were modified to align with medieval architectural preferences.
The courtyard bears the name of Isabel of Aragon and Sicily, who later became Queen of Portugal through her marriage to King Denis.
The original arches from the southern portico are now displayed at the National Archaeological Museum and the Museum of Zaragoza.
German scholar Christian Ewert noted that arches near nobility areas maintain strong connections to Cordoban architectural traditions.
