Dar Al-Arusa Palace, Nasrid palace ruins in Cerro del Sol, Granada, Spain.

The palace structure contains a central courtyard with a pool, surrounded by walls and featuring remnants of a sophisticated hydraulic system.

The site was discovered in 1933 during pine tree planting, leading to three years of excavations conducted by architect Leopoldo Torres Balbás.

Located near Generalife Palace and Silla del Moro Castle, this 14th-century residence represents Nasrid architectural design with its rectangular layout.

Fragments of plasterwork, decorative tiles, and marble pools found at the site are now exhibited at the Museum of the Alhambra.

The eastern section contains remains of a hypocaust heating system beneath a bathhouse with a circular marble fountain decorated with tiles.
