Pool in front of the Ladies' Tower (Torre de las Damas) (Granada)

Spain / Granada / Granada

Right in front of the Torre de las Damas, it is a large pool, which before had 2 large lions which are now in the Museum of the Alhambra.
The two large marble lions that stood in the front of the gallery, and which dated back to the 14th Century, were originally from Maristán, in Albaycin.
In 1995 the lions were moved to the Museum of the Alhambra in order to be restored and preserved. In the mid-nineteenth century, they had been in the Partal, where their preservation, chronology, function, and context were ignored.
