Puerta de los Siete Suelos, historic gate in Granada, Spain

The Puerta de los Siete Suelos is a historic gate in Granada, Spain. It is one of the four outer entrances to the Alhambra and leads into the Medina area.

Built in the 14th century under King Yusuf I, the gate was partially destroyed by Napoleonic troops in 1812. It was rebuilt in the 20th century using old engravings and photographs.

The gate's name comes from a legend about seven floors beneath the tower. Today, visitors can see the tower and the circular bastion in front of it, which appears in one of Washington Irving's tales.

The gate is usually closed to visitors, but it sometimes opens during special months. Check the Alhambra's official information for opening times and access conditions.

The gate is linked to the story of Boabdil leaving Granada in 1492 and asking that it never be opened again. Under the tower, three rooms have been found, though legends speak of seven.
