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 (10[1])is in the region’s (-5[1])style of horseshoe arch and leads to a patio of myrtles surrounded by arcades with stucco sebka designs. (10[1])During a 1936 visit, M. C. Escher copied this building’s tessellations. (10[1])Halls with stalactite-work (-5[1])vaults called muqarnas surround a space in this complex where a fountain sits on 12 marble animals. (10[1])The Court of the Lions is the central (10[1])citadel of this Nasrid complex, which like the Royal Alcázar inspired the fusion of Mudéjar art after the Reconquista. For 10 points, (10[1])name this “Moorish-style” (10[1])palace in Granada. ■END■ (10[2])
