The Palace of the Abencerrajes ( Palacio de los Abencerrajes) was one of the largest palaces in the Alhambra and may also date from the time of Muhammad II.Particularly during his second reign (after 1362), there was a stylistic shift towards more innovative architectural layouts and an extensive use of complex muqarnas vaulting. Like Mariano Contreras before him, Cendoya continued to clash with the supervisory body and to obstruct their control. The appointment of Torres Balbás, a trained archeologist and art historian, marked a definitive shift to a more scientific and systematic approach to the Alhambra's conservation.

In 1526, Charles V commissioned a new Renaissance-style palace in direct juxtaposition with the Nasrid palaces, but it was left uncompleted in the early 17th century. Isabella and Ferdinand initially took up residence here and stayed in Granada for several months, up until 25 May 1492.

This layout was similar to some earlier mausoleums in North Africa and to the later Saadian Tombs in Marrakesh.

The most influential of them was Washington Irving, whose Tales of the Alhambra (1832) brought international attention to the site.you say this in the evening you should say: Rabbi 'as'aluka khayra maa fee haathihil-laylati, wa khayra maa ba'dahaa, wa 'a'oothu bika min sharri maa fee haathihil-laylati wa sharri maa ba'dahaa: "I ask You for the good things of this night and of the nights that come after it and I seek refuge in You from the evil of this night and of the nights that come after it. A Christian-era sculpture of the Virgin and Christ Child was inserted later into another niche just inside the gate. Bismillaahil-la thee laa yadhurru ma'as-mihi shay'un fil-'ardhi wa laa fis-samaa'i wa Huwas-Samee 'ul- 'Aleem .
