organizing this free activity, leading the doctor in Art History, Javier Moya, in Room VI. The papers seek to publicly disclose the specific features of constructive and ornamental elements Nazari.

Within the Islamic art was

Nazari period when the capital tended to be fully integrated into its architectural context. The standardization of capital around the type called "cubic" did this integration. Such a fusion was developed through several procedures that did evolve its shape to adapt to specific requirements of the architecture. One of them involved the rupture of the square of the abacus (actually the entire top parallelepiped block capitals) to traverse it, thus multiplying the faces of the capital, and facilitating their integration into central plant structures.

Such is the splitting of plaster capitals Museum of the Alhambra which, like those preserved in situ in the oratory of Granada and the Madrasa

Dos Hermanas room of the Alhambra, it adapts its shape to corners of the octagonal plant.

Although not retained any building which used this same type of capital, has made its existence, and that has survived to the present specimens, mostly unknown until today.
