The Harem
The Sala de Dos Hermanas (Hall of Two Sisters) is not named after any legend or myth ;-) In this case, it comes from the two marble flagstones separated by the small gutter of water coming from a small fountain that disappears into the Patio de los Leones.
This is where the spouses and favourites of the Sultan used to live, which is why the Harem was formed, it is the second residence inside the Palacio de los Leones. It is known that the mother of Boabdil lived there with her children before being repudiated by Muley Hacén. Its interior boasts another great dome that surprises us in this hall. It also has some of the most beautiful tiling found in the complex.
Pythagoras and his formulas also inspired this place. It is a fact that the Muslims knew how to take advantage of all Greek culture, as in the Palacio de Leones everything reminds us of the canons of ancient Greek beauty.
At the end of the hall there is another of those little hidden corners, impossible to forget and that return to fantasies and tales of the 1001 nights: the gazebo on the grounds of Lindajara or Daraza. As you can see its one surprise after another!
