es: Los aljibes públicos eran el sistema de abastecimiento de agua para consumo humano de la Granada islámica. No todos podían tener un aljibe dentro de su vivienda, por lo que las instituciones públicas se encargaban de construir y controlar los aljibes instalados en calles, plazas, y exteriores.
"Por el estilo arquitectónico y el emplazamiento se cree que el Aljibe del Rey o Aljibe Viejo se construyó en la época zíri. Es el mayor aljibe musulmán de Granada, con capacidad para 300 metros cúbicos.
El aljibe dispone de cuatro naves cubiertas por bóvedas de cañón y tres arquerías centrales. El interior del aljibe está acondicionado para su visita, dentro de las instalaciones del Carmen del Aljibe del Rey."
