Question

Owen Jones made innovative chromolithographs of this complex that influenced his interiors for the Crystal Palace. This complex’s niches once held large blue-and-gold vases unique in the region for being only decorative. This complex’s Gate of Justice is in the region’s style of horseshoe arch (10[1])and leads to a patio of myrtles surrounded by arcades (10[1])with stucco sebka designs. During a 1936 visit, M. C. Escher copied this building’s tessellations. (10[1])Halls with stalactite-work vaults called muqarnas surround a space in this complex where a fountain sits on 12 marble animals. The Court of the Lions is the central citadel of this Nasrid complex, which like the Royal Alcázar inspired the fusion of Mudéjar art after the Reconquista. For 10 points, name this “Moorish-style” palace in Granada. ■END■
