It offers close descriptions of the mosque, the Sala de Santa Isabel, inscriptions and heraldic emblems, and discusses water supply, orchards and ancillary spaces. The author compiles documentary evidence and older manuscripts to trace ownership, repairs, royal ceremonies, imprisonments, the establishment of the Inquisition at the site, and notable visits by the crown.
