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 copied this building’s tessellations. Halls with stalactite-work vaults called muqarnas (10[1])surround a space in this complex where (-5[1])a fountain sits on 12 marble animals. The Court of the Lions is the central citadel of this Nasrid complex, which (10[1])like the Royal Alcázar inspired the fusion of Mudéjar art after the Reconquista. For 10 points, name this “Moorish-style” palace in Granada. ■END■ (10[1])
