 Courtyard of Carlos V's
palace by easyoar
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

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!

It's worth a quick visit to see the circular interior of the palace where the king sometimes held bullfights. Leave a Comment

 renaissance splendor by willy_wonka
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!

It is done in a square plan, inside of it, there is a round patio and It is unfinished
If you have seen the Palaces, lets go to the citadel or Alcazaba if not lets go to the Palace, have you got your tickets ready to show?
