Muralla Nazari en el Alto Albaicin

Carril de San Miguel, 12, Albaicín, 18010 Granada

Reconstructed stretch of fortified rampart with a narrow stone passage visitors can walk through, framing fragmented city views.

This guide to the Muralla Nazari on the Alto Albaicin in Granada asks why a council would rebuild a broken stretch of fourteenth-century rampart, raised under Sultan Yusuf I, into a narrow passage just eighty centimetres wide, only to later vote to tear it back down. It follows architect Antonio Jimenez Torrecillas's decision to stack raw granite rather than fake old stone, and the residents who pushed back against demolition. Squeeze through the passage and watch how the view breaks into fragments of the valley beyond.
