The Legend of the Door the Justice

Hi,

Granada and the Alhambra won't be the same without the legends told for centuries around such magnificent building. And one of the best known is the one regarding to the Door Of Justice.

During the muslim domination this access to the Alhambra was where all the matters involving a Judge were dealt with (alas the name ;-) . Engraved in the inner arch there is a key (it is the one in the pic above) and in the arch facing the exterior, a hand. According to the legend, if the key in the inner arch touches the hand will mean the destruction of the Alhambra.
