    The Puerta de Elvira, also known as the Arco de Elvira, is a historic city gate in Granada. This gate was the main entrance to the city during Islamic rule, giving access from the road to Madīnat Ilbira (Medina Elvira) to the Cuesta de Alhacaba and Calle de Elvira. The gate was originally built in the 11th century by the Zirí sultans and later fortified in the 14th century during the Nasrid period. It is a fine example of Islamic architecture, with a horseshoe-shaped arch and flanking towers.
