This was the focal point of the Sultan's private dwellings in the days of the old Moorish dynasty. The design of the Courtyard of Lions was not that of a 'house' with a garden but rather a garden containing a house. The middle area contains refreshing water springs that pour out of the mouths of 12 white marble lions. The Alhambra has been declared a monument of human heritage and it is also in the running to be voted as one of the new 7 wonders. Please vote for it if possible.. :)
