A set of eight steps leads you up to the large gallery, is accessed through the pointed arch door on the right of the statue of Alphonse X the Wise. From this point, a rectangular space opens up ahead of you. Its barrel vault is made of brick and forms several arches. Along the corridor several pieces of carved wooden furniture are on display such as chests, tables, carvings, a Roman sarcophagus and a bust of Seneca. Visitors can view the central courtyard — known as the Moorish Courtyard — which can be seen from the balconies at your right. On the left, there is a small corridor with stairs leading to the Torre de los Leones (Lions’ Tower). The Keep Tower can be accessed via theses stairs. In this little corridor adjacent to the gallery, visitors can also view fragments of antique flooring of the original castle which have been set into the wall. The gallery leads to a wall located ahead of the viewer which subsequently opens up to a large area which provides access to another corridor leading to the next room: the Drawing Room.
