Changes that Christian rule brought to the Nasrid country villa: in 1494 the Catholic Monarchs added an upper storey to the north pavilion of the Patio de la Acequia, and the Patio de la Sultana was completely redesigned in the 16th century, the arcaded structure on its north side being built between 1584 and 1586. The Generalife can be visited with a ticket.
