ABSTRACT
The Cuarto Real de Santo Domingo is a building of enormous historical, artistic and constructive interest, located in the southern area of the Islamic city of Granada, and whose construction dates back to the beginning of the Nasrid period (second half of the 13th century; Rodríguez Trobajo 2008). We refer to what was in its time a royal property of the Granada sultans, which was known as the Huerta Grande (Main Orchard) of Almanxarra at the time of the conquest by Castile, and was donated by the Catholic Monarchs to the Dominican Order to found the convent of Santa Cruz la Real. From then until the seizure of ecclesiastical properties in the middle of the 19th century, it formed part of the convent’s lands.
