It is renowned for its ornate walls, historical relevance and bright colors. The patio is located in the southern part of the city and is a perfect place to visit if you are looking to explore some of the city's heritage and cultural sites.

The centerpiece of Patio de los Naranjos is the central courtyard with its tall orange trees, a plethora of which were planted here in the ancient caliphate. Here, one can find the remains of a 12th-century castle, its walls decorated with Moorish patterns, and its gardens adorned with a wealth of exotic flowers. The courtyard offers a unique spot to take a peaceful stroll, take in the scents of the oranges, and take in the breathtaking beauty of the city.
