This Nasrid palace located in the Albaicín district was constructed in the 15th century, over the remains of a Zirid palace dating back to the 11th century. This was the residence of Aisha, the queen and mother of Boabdil, and subsequently of the king and Isabel de Solís, a Christian slave who captivated him and later became his consort. When the Catholic Monarchs conquered the city, this building was given to Hernando de Zafra and later became a part of the Monastery of Santa Isabel la Real, before it became the property of the State in the 20th century. The palace boasts two storeys and a tower, build around a central courtyard, featuring a square pool in its centre. A large portion of the palace and its original decorations have been conserved and it has been afforded the classification of a monument of cultural importance.
