The majority of the palace buildings are quadrangular, with all the rooms opening on to a central court.Everywhere, the exterior is left plain, in contrast with the inside of the palace, which is full of exquisite details on its marble pillars and arches, its ceilings with repetitive, geometrical ornamental bands, the
painted tiles on the walls and the fragile transparency of its stucco decorations. The wind blows through the rooms and sunshine streams in—the whole effect is one of very airy lightness and grace. Blue, red, and a golden yellow, all now a little faded from time and exposure, are the colors used most.
