Patterns: tiles, plaster, inlayed wood - all amazing


Sunday, November 3, 2019               Granada

The appreciation of the Alhambra is perhaps most reinforced by the artistic details

Plaster carvings with pigments hinting at the original brilliance of the wall colors

Tiles from the walls of the Mexuar palace
Inlayed ceiling with hundreds of pieces of wood

Calligraphic inscriptions band the walls above the tiles





Three elements in juxtaposition: tile, plaster and wood artistry





Floor patterns in the courtyards formed by white and black pebbles from the two local rivers
