'Interior of the "Captive's" (Isabel De Solis) Tower', 1907. Interior decoration in the Tower of the Captive, palace of the Alhambra, Granada, Spain, which mainly dates from the 14th century. The tower was so named because it was thought that Lady Isabel de Solís lived there. Isabel (active 1485) was the slave concubine and later the consort of Abu l-Hasan Ali, Sultan of Granada. She converted to Islam and took the name Zoraya. From "The Alhambra: being a brief record of the Arabian conquest of the Peninsula with a particular account of the Mohammedan architecture and decoration" by Albert F. Calvert.
