Not that impressive inside, but the gate is special, and when the walk. We were part of a guided tour, and I sunny believe it would be interesting without a guide's explanation.

Free to visit. Spent only a few minutes to admire the historical landmark. There is a public toilet inside the building.

Cool little place that we looked at for 15-30 min. There’s an adjacent attached exhibit about the various moorish gardens. It seems just a little less impressive after visiting the Alhambra, but still well decorated. Free for entry

Free to visit but they still add to the granada card so as to give more value to it. Not much exhibition in it.

Plants that make gardens Cypress trees, emblem of the gardens of Granada The Mediterranean cypress (Cupressus sempervirens L.) is the most characteristic tree on the landscape and in the gardens of the historic neighbourhoods of Granada. Ever since the regionalists adopted it as a symbol of the city, its popularity has increased and today the cypress is an integral part of the image of the city. The link between cypress trees and longevity, and hence with death and the life that comes after it, made it a typical plant in cemeteries, even in regions that were far removed from its natural distribution area. This did not prevent it becoming widely used as a garden tree, not only in Granada, but also in cities in Italy and the eastern Mediterranean. In the old gardens of Granada, it was used in very different ways as a freestanding tree or pruned in the shape of dramatic figures, from simple columns to pathways with arches, reaching its most complicated form in arbours with vaults made of overlapping arches, a sort of plant-based Gothic gazebo, which were a frequent sight in the city at the end of the 19th century.
