The ceiling of the hall of ambassadorsThe Comares palace is approx 3000 square meters big and is arranged around a courtyard of rectangular shape. There is a mirror-like rectangular pool (34m x 7m) in the courtyard. The Comares palace contains the hall of baraka (blessing in arabic) and the hall of Ambassadors. The latter is the place where the throne was placed. This was the most majestic hall and the offical receptions took place here. The hall is decorated with poems prasing Allah or the emir, and there are also texts from the Qur'an and the slogan of the king, "Wa la ghalib ila Allah" (And there is no conqueror except of Allah/God).
The ceiling is supposed to be a representation of the muslim Paradise, with the 7 heavens and Allah's throne on the 8th heaven. But I don't know how this is connected.
