Granada - Arab Walls

(Local Name: Muralla árabe) From Puerta Nueva (Puerta de los Estandartes) a well preserved stretch of the town's Arab walls runs west to the Puerta Monaitia. The best view of the walls is from the Cuesta de la Alhacaba, which leads to the Plaza del Triunfo. In this square is the Puerta de Elvira, once the town's principal gate, which dates from the ninth century.
