parts are the bays of the Patios de la Montería and de las Doncellas.
The arrangement of the first front must be kept until the construc-
tion of the current main staircase, hence the name of the five stables.
Shaded: the King’s Office (Basse: ALMAGRO 2013).

an example and modifying the direction and arrangement of the

Figure 27, 28 and29. The Solis emblem is shown in these images
under the representation of the elderly and the young . Interest-
ingly enough, both are framed by the same ornamental motifs. We
assume that they were originally located facing each other. Cur-
rently one of them is located as the partition wall No. 5 of the north
side and the other one is placed as the partition wall No. 2 of the
south side.

ers can be seen (layers 4 and 6) emphasizing varnish penetration
through a crack into the paint.
