XE3A4999 - Puerta de Elvira - Elvira Gate (Granada)

Se conoce como puerta de Elvira o Arco de Elvira al principal acceso a Granada en Andalucía (España), durante la dominación islámica.
La puerta fortaleza es una de las más antiguas, pues ya aparecen citas de ella en el siglo IX.1 Su nombre, bab-Ilvira, se debe a que encaminaba a la antigua Medina Elvira, capital de la cora del mismo nombre hasta principios del siglo XI, cuando pasó a desempeñar esta función Medina Garnata.
Está declarada Monumento Histórico Artístico Nacional desde 1896.
En el poemario Diván del Tamarit del poeta y dramaturgo granadino Federico García Lorca puede encontrarse el poema «Gacela del mercado matutino», en el que se referencia el Arco de Elvira.

The Gate of Elvira (Spanish: Puerta de Elvira) is an arch located in Granada, Spain. It was declared Bien de Interés Cultural in 1896 It is located at the beginning of Calle Elvira (Elvira Street), on the edge of the Albaicín neighbourhood.
The gate was formerly known as Bāb Ilbīra in Arabic. It was originally part of the 11th-century Zirid walls, but in the 14th century it was rebuilt into a heavily-fortified structure in order to be incorporated into the new Nasrid extension of the walls. Only a part of the gate remains today. A large Muslim cemetery, known as the Ibn Malik Cemetery, formerly existed outside this gate. The present-day Royal Hospital (Hospital Real) stands over a part of this former cemetery.
