Work for transforming the fortress into a palace was undertaken during the Nazari dynasty. It was specifically Muhammad Ibn al-Ahmar, or Muhammad I, who moved his residence from Albaicin to the neighbouring hill in 1237.

He was deposed and killed, after which followed a series of internal struggles that weakened his power.
During the reign of Yusuf I (1333-1354), work on the construction of the Palace of Comares was continued.

On January 2, 1492, Boabdil, delivered the Alhambra and his kingdom to Ferdinand and Isabella, thus ending eight centuries of Arab rule in the Iberian Peninsula.
From that day forward, the transformation of the palace for the Christian kings was begun.
