Bibrambla Gate, Granada, Andalusia, Spain

Bibrambla Gate or Arch de las Orejas, originally in the Plaza Bibarrambla in the town centre but relocated to a site alongside the Cuesta de Gomerez, a path leading to the Alhambra, Granada, Andalusia, Southern Spain. The name, the Arch of the Ears, dates from the Muslim period, when the ears and limbs of criminals were cut off in the square and nailed to the walls of the Gate. Granada was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1984. Picture by Manuel Cohen
