The Puerta de Elvira was the principal gate of Granada during Moorish times. It was built in the 11th century when the Ziries were the kings. It became part of a fort when Yusuf I was the king. Today it has the arch that dates from the Nazari times. This is a National Historic-Artistic Monument since 1896.

The puerta looks like something straight out of Aladdin. I happened to stumble across is as I was walking down from the Mirador de San Cristóbal. It's interesting, but not anything to go especially out of your way to see.
