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