Royal Quarters of Santo Domingo - History, Inscriptions and Opening Hours
Cuarto Real de Santo Domingo served the Muslims during Ramadan. It belonged to the Arab
queens but later was bought by the Catholic kings,
who ceded it to the Convent of Santa Cruz.
It has been privately owned since the Nineteenth Century.
Only one tower remains from the Arab buildings, now located inside a modern building surrounded by gardens, where it formerly had a porch.
Its interior contains a square room of 7 metres, which has an entrance arch bearing the inscription:
"God is One", extracted from the Koran.
On either side of the room there are ornaments and inscriptions, plaster panels on the walls, and twenty arches with plaster latticework which support a timber truss.
In front of the hall there are three balconies, the hanging central arch, bordering on a base of simple room.
