Small courtyard
I've also see it called the front courtyard.
Hard to pick
Everything was so beautiful it was hard to pick which photos to take.
Zellige
This type of tile is called zellige. It's tile chips set in to plaster. Craftsmen are trained from childhood in this artform.
Beautiful!
This part of the ceiling looks like paintings, not tile.
Brilliance
Bahia means, "brilliance." It was meant to be the greatest palace of all time.
Beautiful tile!
The tiles at Bahia Palace were so old we weren't allowed to walk on a lot of it. You can see Bill on the other side of the building.
Beautiful arch
Everywhere you looked was beautiful tile and arches. It was amazing!
Pretty door
Entering the palace from the garden.
