Brodick > The Patio de la Acequia
Brodick > The Patio de la Acequia has a long thin central pool with fountains, following the cooling water theme so prevalent in Moorish gardens.
Brodick > When Mohammed V succeeded his father Yusuf I, he did more than just finishing the alterations that his father had started. He actually started building what would become his great work of art, the marvellous legacy he left us in the Alhambra: the Palace of the Lions (Palacio de los Leones).
Brodick > The Hall of the Two Sisters, (Sala de Dos Hermanas), was built by order of Mohammed V. It is square, has interlacing ceilings and bedchambers connected with the Emperor's Chambers (Habitaciones de Carlos V) and, through a balcony, with the Gardens of the Partal (Jardines del Partal). Visitors may access the hall through a semicircular festooned arch, where the original wooden doors are still preserved. A passageway leads to the high chambers, with ceilings carved in the 16th century. Three little arches, with mocarabes on the lateral arches and arch scallops on the central arch, lead to the mirador's chamber.

Brodick > The Palace of Charles V was begun in 1526 and interrupted by the Moorish uprising (1568), since when it has never been fully completed. Part of the Arab palace was destroyed to make room for its construction, and there was no willingness to compromise on its style.
