The first up when you enter the gates are the ruins (remains) of where the common man lived --- long demolished and brought to earth only the boundary walls remain. The living quarters ranged from the humble to the more noble ones. Many 'pseudo-royalty' moved up from the city of granada into the alhambra. Prominent among them is the Palacio Abencerrajes where the Abencerrajes family lived. They are famous for the hall of Abencerrajes inside the Nazrath palace and the fact that the entire fmaily was apparently massacarred when one of the chiefs dared to dally with the kings mistress (wife?).
