This is the Patio of the Damsels. The lower level is Moorish, while the upper level (added later by Carlos V) is Renaissance in style.

I should let you know that in ancient times, the local community presented the Moorish King with 100 Christian virgins on an annual basis. I guess it's good to be the King.
