Description:

The palaces of the Alhambra and Generalife form the most important architectural ensemble to survive from the Nasrid period (1232-1492). The walled Alhambra city which sits on a steep hill, comprised the Alcazaba (alqa?aba: "fortress"), palaces, mansions, two mosques, baths (?ammams), an industrial zone with tanneries, a mint, kilns, workshops, and some adjacent royal estates such as the Generalife. The Generalife was built on ascending terraces. The sovereign reached the Generalife's royal mansion, the Dar al-Mamlaka al-Sa'ida ("royal house of felicity"), from the Alhambra's Puerta de Hierro, also built by Muhammad II. He ascended through orchards, crossed a first courtyard and entered the second through a guarded south portico, to ascend to a vestibule with a structural bench and up a steep staircase to the Patio de la Acequia. Gardens and fountains are interspersed throughout the palace complex. A UNESCO World Heritage Site. (Source: Grove Art Online; http://www.oxfordart online.com/)

Following the model of Roman thermal baths, with various rooms for warm and cool baths and dressing. Some are very simple with horseshoe arches without decoration and vaults with star-shaped skylights, which were once closed with stained glass and were used to light the chamber.
