The Patio de los Arrayanes has been called various things over time. The current name (like that of Patio de los Mirtos) is due to the massifs of myrtle trees (or myrtle trees) whose bright green color contrasts with the white marble floor of the patio, and which surround the central pond. It was also called Patio del Estanque or de la Alberca, precisely because of this pond, measuring 34 meters by 7.10 meters, which divides the patio longitudinally and is supplied with water thanks to two marble basins located at each end. On both sides of the patio there are two chamber naves and, on the smaller sides, there are porticos, supported by columns with cubic capitals, with seven semicircular arches adorned with openwork rhombuses and inscriptions of praise to God.

The Nasrid Palaces (Palacios Nazaries) with their gardens (e.g. el Partal) are the heart of the Alhambra. This was the seat of government and the private rooms of the Moorish rulers.
