In front of the porticoe of the Golden Room, the most important façade of the palace was built: the magnificent "Comares" façade. It was Mohamed V who ordered its construction to commemorate the conquest of Algeciras in 1369. this façade was the entrance to the residential private area of the palace. The door at the right of this façade gave access to the service areas and the door at the left gave access to the private rooms, as the inscription on the "ar-rukab" or wooden frieze says. On the upper floor there are the private rooms of the women, closed with lattice windows to preserve their intimacy. http://www.alhambra.org/eng/index.asp?secc=/alhambra/alhambras_guide/mexuar/the_golden_room_courtyard
