=== Other Nasrid palaces === {{Further|Palacio del Partal Alto|Palace of the Convent of San Francisco}}[[File:Convent of San Francisco, Granada - DSC07679.JPG|thumb|The Convent of Saint Francis was built over the remains of a former Nasrid palace. The building is now a [[Paradores|Parador]] (state-owned hotel).]] Three other major Nasrid-era palaces once existed but were largely destroyed over the centuries. The excavated remains of the ''Palacio del Partal Alto'' ("Upper Partal Palace"), also known as the ''Palacio del Conde del Tendilla'' ("Palace of the Count of Tendilla'"), are incorporated today into the Partal Gardens. The palace dates from the time of Muhammad II, with later renovations and modifications, and is the oldest palace in the Alhambra of which traces have been found.{{Sfn|Arnold|2017|p=236}} The Palace of the Convent of San Francisco (''Palacio del Convento de San Francisco'', also known as the ''Palacio de los Infantes'') is named after the Convent of [[Francis of Assisi|Saint Francis]] which was installed here in 1494.{{Sfn|Arnold|2017|pp=246–247}}{{Sfn|López|2011|pp=180–184}} The Nasrid palace here was probably first built by Muhammad II but some surviving inscriptions suggest it was significantly remodelled by Muhammad V.{{Sfn|Irwin|2004|p=25}}{{Sfn|Arnold|2017|pp=246–247}} Little remains of the Nasrid structure today except for a rectangular courtyard and some of its adjoining rooms, including a richly-decorated chamber with ''muqarnas'' vaulting. Queen Isabella I was originally buried here in 1504 before her body was moved to the [[Royal Chapel of Granada|Royal Chapel]] near the cathedral.{{Sfn|Arnold|2017|p=247}} The rest of the present-day building dates from an 18th-century remodelling of the convent and includes a cloistered courtyard. Today it serves as a [[Paradores|Parador]] (state-owned hotel).{{Sfn|López|2011|pp=180–184}}{{Sfn|Arnold|2017|pp=246–247}} The Palace of the Abencerrajes (''Palacio de los Abencerrajes'') was one of the largest palaces in the Alhambra and may also date from the time of Muhammad II. What was left of the palace was blown up by Napoleon's troops in 1812. It then became part of an area of abandoned ruins known as the Secano. Its excavated remains are visible today in the southern part of the complex but they have yet to be fully studied.{{Sfn|Arnold|2017|pp=250–251}}{{Sfn|López|2011|pp=175–180}}
