Supplemental context
The Alhambra makes architecture, water and royal display part of one cultural setting. Its Court of the Lions belongs to the palace built under Muhammad V during his second reign, rather than to a single thirteenth-century building campaign. The central fountain and channels had both practical and aesthetic roles. Galleries and intersecting axes structure movement and attention around the courtyard. For future readers, the complex is a reminder that a celebrated monument contains successive projects, materials and interpretations: a broad date for the Alhambra cannot precisely date every courtyard, room or decorative surface within it.
Creator/community: Nasrid rulers, architects, craftspeople and later custodians Place/era: Granada, Spain; medieval palace complex, with the Palace of the Lions associated with Muhammad V's second reign, 1362–1391
Context and limits
The original entry is retained as archival wording. Nasrid is a more specific historical designation than treating every feature as generically Moorish. The official site discusses differing interpretations of earlier courtyard surfaces and planting. The accompanying imagined garden does not show the Court of the Lions or document its historical appearance.
