The Board of the Alhambra and the Generalife has restored 49 traces of the paintings of the Room of the Kings, carried out by Manuel Gómez-Moreno González at the end of the 19th century. The work, executed throughout 2008, is especially significant from the historical and symbolic point of view. In addition, the task is very delicate, due to its advanced state of deterioration.

The works, which belong to the File of the Board of the Alhambra and the Generalife, was entrusted to Gómez-Moreno by the Commission of Monuments (supervisor of the inspection and surveillance of the Alhambra since its declaration like a national monument), in 1870. The purpose was to show the condition of conservation of the roofs, before beginning the restorations on these leather paintings, which finally were not carried out.

Gómez-Moreno made the above-mentioned traces in "treated fabric", previous to the "grease-proof paper". It is a support, normally of very thin cotton (though also there can use another type of textile fibers), gummed by both faces and that it presents a high degree of transparency. These characteristics make it suitable as drawing paper, for works in ink and as counterfoil for his later reproduction. Furthermore it is adapted for a plan that due to the frequency of use needs to have a more permanent character.

The Room of the Kings, located in the Palace of the Lions, is composed by three vaults of wood, which are re-dressed internally in assembled sheep leather. In the central chamber ten Muslim prominent figures appear, with naturalistic figures. While, in the lateral roofs chivalrous scenes are represented. The Board of the Alhambra and the Generalife will begin, shortly, the restoration of one of the domes, known as the fountains.
