This richly decorated, square hall was in the centre of a series of chambers where the sultana and her family lived. The hall was built by order of Mohammed V.

The dome is therefore a beautiful and exquisitely rich flower. The hall's walls are covered with extremely fine plasterwork on different themes, among which we count the classical Nasrid motto «Only God is Victor» and, for example, a pair of closed hands.
