 Courtyard of Carlos V's palace by easyoar The Palace of Carlos V is inside the Alhambra complex, and you can enter with your ticket that you purchased for the Alhambra. It doesn't really fit in with the beauty of the Moorish built Alhambra, and I think most tourists don't bother to see inside. The central courtyard (shown here) was used for bullfighting once upon a time. Leave a Comment

 Part of the circular courtyard in Palace Carlos V by Ekaterinburg This is definitely the cuckoo in the nest of the Alhambra and if you haven't done your homework prior to arriving, you will feel really confused by the prescence of this vast quadrangular Renaissance palace where you were expecting delicate plasterwork and Moorish arches. It is a seriously impressive building though with the major surprise of a pefect circular courtyard hidden in the middle of all this boxy squareness. The courtyard is 30m in diameter and is seperated from the inner arcade by doric colums on the lower level and ionic on the upper section. It immediately reminded me of the Collosseum in Rome and I was not at all surprised to learn that bull fights once took place here. There are two museums housed in this building: the Museo de L'Alhambra on the ground floor and the Museo de Bellas Artes on the upper floor. Entry to both these museums is free to holders of EU passports but I think the prospect of adding museum visits to the already mammoth task of seeing the Alhambra, is an option that many people would be happy to pass up.

by Hosell The Palace of Charles V, built in 1526 is reminiscent of Italian renaissance - its architect, Pedro Machuca, was a student of Michelangelo in Florence. Today there are several museums inside of this palace. The National Museum of Spanish-Moorish Art displays the famous seven jars of the Alhambra and works of glass-ceramics. The Museum of Arts mainly exhibits works of the Granadinian school from the 15th to 20th centuries. Leave a Comment

Emerging from the green spaces of the upper half of the Alhambra, we soon found ourselves at the impressive Palacio Carlos V - basically used as a waiting area until it is time for your particular tour to get on with it. This palace is sometimes called 'Carlos I' because it was built as a residence for King Carlos I of Spain who, three years after his coronation in 1516, also became Emperor Carlos V of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Construction was begun in 1533, after parts of the existing Alhambra were knocked down, but the palace was never used by the Emperor. Architectually, it is now considered ahead of its time because of its square exterior appearance as seen here, which contrasts with its circular courtyard as seen in the next two photos. Adding to its complexity is the fact that the lower floor of its interior columns are of Doric design while the smaller columns of the upper floor are Ionic in style. Presently the palace houses the Granada Museum of Fine Arts (which has its own entry fee), but it was not open when we visited. That did not really matter, because our tour started in less than 15 minutes anyway - just a short distance away, in the heavily fortified Alcazaba part of the Alhambra that we had already been able to see from the streets below!

 Carlos V palace in the Alahambra grounds by jackfruit Charles V (Carlos V in Spain) built this circle-in-a-square palace within the Alahambra grounds to show the Moors who the new ruler was. Although it is the best example of renaissance architecture in modern day Spain, it looks out of place in the otherwise heavily moorish Alahambra landscape. It's worth a quick visit to see the circular interior of the palace where the king sometimes held bullfights. Leave a Comment

 Granada - Alhambra - Palacio de Carlos V by Kuznetsov_Sergey To the West from Iglesia de Santa Maria there is one more monument of a Christian epoch - the Renaissance palace of Charles V (Palacio de Carlos V). The palace is allocated with the massiveness. Its construction on a place of premises Alhambra in 1530-1540 has not been completed. The Museum of the fine arts and the Museum of Spain-Muslim art (Museo de Alhambra and Museo de Bellas Artes) are located in Charles's V palace now. Subjects of conditions of a moorish epoch are exposed in the museums.

 Granada - Alhambra - Charles V Palace by Kuznetsov_Sergey The round court yard of a palace and some rooms surrounding it is kept. One of the most beautiful Renaissance court yard in Spain is hidden inside of a square construction (60x60 meters). These are creations toledian arcitector Pedro Manchuk. He studied in Italy, it is probable Mikelangelo was his teacher. The round court yard in strict style with a double line of columns has diameter of 30 meters. From the palace of Charles V it is possible to go to ancient Arabian Palaces.

 renaissance splendor by willy_wonka what is this smack bang in the middle of all this moorish splendor? it's the charles V palace, a renaissance styled palace which housed the christian spanish royal residences. it has been said the site, located in the heart of the glorious alhambra, was chosen by charles V to show off the triumph of order and unity of christianity, against the 'enemy' that is islam. basically, he was rubbing their defeat in their faces! the building is well worth a quick look, especially inside its round circular court with its many columns. there are two museums inside the palace, the alhrambra museum and the fine arts museum. while i would love to say i got to explore these museums, i have to say i didn't, because by the time you get to this stage you are already exhausted from the numerous walking around the alhrambra!
