Note C — Chapter XVII · — JOURNEY FROM MALAGA TO GRANADA.—GRANADA.
Reading edition
The existence of this gateway, and the story connected with it, are perhaps known to few, but were identified in the researches made to verify this history. The gateway is at the bottom of a great tower, at some distance from the main body of the Alhambra. The tower had been rent and ruined by gunpowder, at the time when the fortress was evacuated by the French. Great masses lie around, half covered by vines and fig trees.—Chronicle of the Conquest of Granada.
