The court of lions is a court located within the 12th-14th Century moorish palace/citedel, the Alhambra. The palace is located on a hill above Granada and consists of numorous courts and ancillary rooms. The court measures approximately 116 ft by 66 ft (Wikipedia), and consists of a single fountain with four radiating channels running out to a shaded walkway surrounding the court. The lions themselves were probably constructed by Jewish artisans.
