The Salón de Comares was the seat of the throne of the Nasrids. In 1354 Ibn al-Khatīb calls it the Qubba of sultan Yūsuf I. In the intrados of the entrance arch there are two good poems by this vizier that describe the niches for water. A third poem, adorning the central N. alcove, describes the place where the throne was placed. This poem can be attributed to Ibn al-Khatīb due to the similarity of its calligraphy, floral background decoration and type of literary imagery. The sura 113 “The Dawn” is inscribed above its entrance arch to protect the sovereign. The hall is covered with a wooden ceiling that symbolises the seven superimposed heavens created by God, inscribed with the sura 67, “al-Mulk”.Downloads
