Abstract

The analysis with a new metrological method indicates that the construction of the coffered ceiling in the Salon de Caballeros XXIV of the Madraza of Granada does not coincide with the historical era that it has been traditionally assigned to it. Its measurements correspond to the Nazari II metric and this information leads us to consider a new series of hypotheses intended to respond to this circumstance, basing our assessments on known historical data. However, the current lack of other sources limits our capacity to arrive at any reliable conclusions, allowing us just to propose assumptions on the matter.
