Puerta de Fajalauza, Granada, Medieval gate in Albaicin quarter, Granada, Spain
The Puerta de Fajalauza stands as an entrance within the ancient Moorish walls, featuring traditional architectural elements and connecting different sections of the Albaicin district.
In 1486, the gate gained significance when Boabdil passed through after his release by the Catholic Kings to reclaim his throne from his uncle.
The gate's name originates from Arabic terms meaning almond grove, reflecting the deep Moorish influence on the architectural heritage of Granada.
The structure remains accessible through Calle San Luis, with the Sierra Nevada mountains visible in the background during clear weather conditions.
The gate bears witness to medieval construction techniques through visible holes in its walls that once held wooden braces during its original building process.
