Jules Goury

Jules Goury was a 19th-century French architect.

Goury is primarily known for his involvement in the study of the Alhambra Palace with architect Owen Jones. Jones and Goury began studying the palace complex in 1834, but their work was interrupted when Goury died suddenly of cholera. Jones returned to Granada in 1837 to complete his study of the site.

Eventually a book was published on this famous palace, an outstanding monument of Moorish architecture. This sumptuous large-scale publication documents the decoration of the famous citadel palace in Granada, dating mainly from the reigns of the Islamic rulers Yusuf I (1333-1353) and Mohammed V (1353-1391).
