The Carchuna Castle, also known as “El Castillejo”, has been declared as Cultural Heritage Asset since 1993. Built at the end of the 18th century under the order of King Carlos III, its main purpose was to protect and give safety to the area due to the continuous pirate attacks. Until the 17th century, this coast and plains were deserted and shelter of Berber corsairs. After the construction of this fortress, the pirate attacks ceased and Carchuna-Calahonda was eventually formed due to the settlement of people from the Alpujarra and Motril as well as the cultivation of the area

One of the four entrances to the Alhambra in Granada is through the Gate of Justice, also known as the Gate of the Esplanade. It features an impressive horseshoe arch. Built during the reign of Sultan Yusuf I in the 14th century, it is believed that its original purpose was to serve as the main entrance to the Alhambra, symbolizing power and authority. It is considered the largest of the Nasrid gate-towers.

Nasrid origin (11th century): it served the old Azitini Mosque and was supplied by the Aynadamar irrigation ditch, a sophisticated Andalusian hydraulic system. Christian reconstruction (17th century): on top of the original Muslim cistern, next to the current Church of San Nicolás. The current structure dates from 1646 according to Henríquez de Jorquera.
