In the Alhambra archives and, to a lesser extent in the General Archive of the Madrid Palace, there is kept a very interesting documentation about the Torres Bermejas fortress in the Alhambra building. More than a dozen inventories allow us to know the arms and objets kept in Torres Bermejas since 1584. To find such a high number of inventories is something exceptional and they are made on the basis of a wide range of reasons: lawsuits, investitures of the new jailers or relationships of the goods existing in the Alhambra. We pretend to release those inventories and we will explain the combined circumstances concurred around them.
