A tour of the Casa Real at the Alhambra brings the visitor to the Court of the Pool which reflects the image of the stunning Moorish architecture on its surface.

The royal throne is thought to have been placed in the Salon of the Ambassadors in the Casa Real (Royal House) at the Alhambra, facing the Court of the Pool - through intricately carved archways.

The 7 arches of the northern portico extend from columns with stylized capitals of stalactites, while the walls feature poetic inscriptions. Their image reflects in the still mirror like pool - the main feature in the Court of the Myrtles.
