Interior view

Spain accepted the Mannerist style early - a violent reaction against the violence of her Late Gothic. Charles V’s new and never finished palace on the Alhambra at Granada (begun in 1526 by Pedro Machuca) looks, with its vast circular colonnaded inner court and the motifs of its 64-meter-long fa�ade, as though it were based on the Raphael of the Villa Madama and Giulio Romano, somewhat provincially interpreted.
