The Aljibe del Rey (the King's Cistern) in the Albaicín district in Granada, Spain is a cistern dating from the 10/11th centuries. Built by the Nasrid rulers to provide water to their palace complex, al-Qaṣaba al-Qadīma, it is the largest cistern in the district. The aljibe is now managed by the AguaGranada Foundation and the attached carmen (house) contains an interpretation centre. The aljibe is open daily.
