Partal, Nasrid palace in Alhambra, Granada, Spain
The palace features a portico with five arches overlooking a central reflecting pool, flanked by the Tower of the Ladies on the northern edge.
Sultan Muhammad III constructed this palace between 1302 and 1309, establishing it as the earliest surviving palace structure within the Alhambra complex.
The interior walls display intricate tile socles and plasterwork decorations, while the adjacent houses contain rare examples of original Nasrid paintings.
Visitors can explore the palace grounds through narrow landscaped paths that provide views of both the architectural elements and the Sacromonte district.
The wooden ceiling from the Tower of the Ladies now resides in Berlin's Museum für Islamische Kunst, following its removal by the last private owner.
