This Renaissance door replaced another Islamic one and in its tympanum the Imperial coat of arms is presented, crowned by three pomegranates that give it its name.

This charming walk, shaded by tall trees on either side, is a lovely way to reach the Alhambra or relax after exploring the famous monument. If you're in Granada, consider taking a leisurely walk along the historic Cuesta de Gomérez! 🌿🏰🌺

The gate is built in the style of Roman triumphal arches, with a classical facade, making it the main entrance to the walled enclosure of the Alhambra. Built during the Spanish Renaissance, under the orders of Emperor Charles V, the gate is made of bonded stone cut with Florentine designs without roughing, highlighting the hard stone of the construction.
