es: "Edad Moderna : 1536 Estilo : Renacimiento Arquitecto : Pedro Machuca Llamada así por las tres granadas que la coronan , se abrió sobre el lienzo de muralla que enlazaba la Alcazaba de la Alhambra con las Torres Bermejas . Sustituyó a un antiguo postigo -cuyos restos aun se pueden ver a la derecha que permitiría la entrada al cementerio de la Sabika , donde al parecer fueron enterrados los primeros sultanes nazaries . Nunca fue el acceso principal a la Alhambra en tiempos musulmanes , puesto que éste se realizaba - por el que hoy es el bosque de San Pedro hasta llegar a la Alcazaba . Se convirtió en el principal acceso a la ciudadela tras convertir el terreno abrupto y de defensa natural que proporcionaba el barranco de la Sabika en una alameda . Plantada en el siglo XVI , sus tres paseos quedaron definidos con motivo de la visita en 1730 de Felipe V."
en: "Modern Age: 1536 Style: Renaissance Architect: Pedro Machuca Call and the three grenades that crown, opened on canvas wall linking the citadel of the Alhambra with Torres Bermejas. -Whose replaced an old wicket remains can still be seen on the right that would allow the entrance to the cemetery of the Sabika, where the apparently were buried the first nazaries sultans. Never was the main access to the Alhambra in Muslim times, since this was done - for which today is the forest of San Pedro to reach the Alcazaba. It became the main entrance to the citadel after converting the rugged terrain and natural defense that provided the Sabika ravine in a mall. Planted in the sixteenth century, his three walks were defined on the occasion of the visit in 1730 of Felipe V."
