Palace of Charles V, Granada
 Category: PalaceLocation: Granada Longtitude: -3.58944000 Latitude: 37.17694000 URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palace_of_Charles_V The Palace of Charles V is situated in town of Granada (Andalusia, Spain). It is a Renacentist construction, located on the top of the hill of the Assabica, inside the Nasrid fortification of the Alhambra. It was commanded by Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, who wished to establish his residence close to the Alhambra palaces. The plan of the palace is a 63 meter square containing an inner circular patio. This structure, the main Mannerist characteristic of the palace, has no precedent in Renaissance architecture, and places the building in the avant-garde of its time. The palace has two floors (not counting mezzanine floors). On the exterior, the lower is of a padded Tuscan order, while the upper is of the ionic order, alternating pilasters and pedimented windows. Both main facades boast portals made of stone from the Sierra Elvira.
