Patio de Los Leones

The most iconic place at Alhambra Palace is located in the heart of the Palace of the Lions and is surrounded by arched galleries and 124 marble columns. The patio owes its name to the 12 lions which support the 12 sided inscribed and sculpted basin of the fountain and throw jets of water from their mouth. Made from different sculptors, the 12 lions are the core of different theories concerning their provenance and their symbolization.

The Alhambra

Named after a famous old cypress, the court, part of Generalife, has a water stairway that is supposed to be the oldest staircase in the gardens, dated from Muslim period. The court and the cypress tree played a crucial role in the romance of a Sultana with a knight and later became the ideal scene for the novels of the 16th-century Spanish.
