The Puente Romano in Granada, also known as the Puente del Genil, is a historic bridge in the city of Granada, Spain. Although its name suggests that it is a Roman construction, it was actually built in the 12th century. It spans the River Genil, near its confluence with the River Darro. It is a bridge with five caisson arches, each with a span of seven metres, and is made of stone and bricks. It was originally built with stones from La Malahá. It is now a pedestrian bridge and has been a protected heritage site within the Historic Garden of the Paseos del Genil since 2007.

Puerta Real de Granada

Highlight • Settlement

Puerta Real is a historic area in the heart of Granada, Spain. It includes Calle Recogidas, Calle Reyes Católicos and Carrera de la Virgen. The name "Puerta Real" (Royal Gate) comes from the visit of King Philip IV on 8 April 1624. The area became the central square of Granada's social life in the 16th century.
Puerta Real has undergone many changes in its history. Until the 19th century, the Darro River flowed through it, but it was closed off for hygienic reasons. The area was decorated with the coat of arms of the Catholic Monarchs in 1515 and later with national symbols to commemorate the end of Moorish rule in the Iberian Peninsula in 1610.
Today, Puerta Real is a bustling area with shops, cafes and cultural attractions. It is a great place to explore and experience the vibrant atmosphere of Granada.
