  Coutyard at Aljaferia Castle

Inside the main gate, cross the rather dull introductory courtyard into a second, the Patio de Santa Isabel, once the central patio of the Muslim palace.

Here you are confronted to north and south by the exquisite interwoven arches typical of the opulence and geometric mastery of Muslim architecture. The innermost hall at the northern end was the throne room, now with reproductions of its delicate plaster and alabaster wall carvings.
