It consists of the Tapestry Room, the Garden Room, the Party Room and the Chapel. It was covered with vaults of ribs attached to pillars inside and outside buttresses are presented as crenellated towers occupying the four major tower angles with spiral stairs inside. Renaissance elements such as tile baseboards in the 16th century, pay homage to the Emperors. In the Hall of Tapestries, which is the first to pass the main gate of the Palace we find decoration with large tapestries of a series of twelve representing the conquest of Tunisia in 1535 by Emperor Carlos V, who took Juan Vermay, a recognized painter in court, to take good note of each moment, once the contest was over, the Emperor presented them to his sister Doña María de Hungary, who decides to capture it in twelve tapestries, made by the best weaver of the time, Guillermo de Pannemaker . Today these tapestries are one of the best collections in the world.

The complex is built on the main nucleus of the Alcazar Dar al-Imara, 10th century, but the Almohads reuse the remains in the 11th century and build a new Palace. When the Christian troops took the city, Alfonso X rebuilds the Palace again and turns it into the Gothic Palace. Over the years it is transformed in different ways, but today it keeps its original form, two levels where the upper level is supported by the lower level through vaults, in which there was a pool surrounded by plants, the so-called Doña Baths María de Padilla. This Palace is also known by this name since Doña María exerted a great influence on King Don Pedro.
