Puerta de Elvira

Why go

The gate once served as a main approach to Granada's medina. Its broad horseshoe arch and flanking masonry make the former entrance tangible in the present street scene. It pairs naturally with a walk toward the Albaicín, where other walls and gates continue the story.

What to look for

• The large horseshoe arch marks the historic passage into the city.
• Towers and surviving wall sections frame the gateway.

Useful to know

• See it from the street near Plaza del Triunfo, then continue toward the Albaicín's surviving walls.
