Grenada Monumental Guide



The “ Armas” square (Alhambra)
Short description of the monument

The “Armas” square, was the original entrance to the Alcazaba. It consisted of a group of constructions where they did different services for the people that lived at the fortress. On the right, there is a large water tank or “aljibe” with two naves, which must have worked as a cistern for rain water, but from the 17th century it started receiving water from the channel of the Alhambra. Near to the “aljibe” (water tank), on the left of the Alcazaba’s Gate, there is a bath.

At the center of the square and in part of the wall, we find foundations of several Arab houses, where the civil population, in charge of covering the needs of the dignitary and military people, lived in. We can also find an underground dungeon almost at the foot of the “Quebrada” tower.
