The Gate of Elvira (Spanish: Puerta de Elvira) is an arch located in Granada, Spain. It is located at the beginning of Calle Elvira (Elvira Street), on the edge of the Albaicín neighbourhood.
The gate was formerly known as B?b Ilb?ra 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.[Wikipedia]
