With the Palace still under construction at the King’s death, one of the major features of the Palace remained unbuilt: A massive Keep, which would have formed the highest point and central focus of the whole edifice, was planned for the middle of the Upper Courtyard, but was never built, at the decision of the King’s family. The Foundation for the Keep is visible in the Upper Courtyard.[49]
