El Albayzín is a district of Granada, in the autonomous community of Andalusia, Spain, that retains the narrow winding streets of its Medieval Moorish past. It was declared a world heritage site in 1984, along with the famous Alhambra.
It was populated in Iberian period and Roman dispersed settlement existed. There is no data before the arrival of the Zirid Berber Islamic settlement, so it is assumed that the city was abandoned since the end of the Roman Empire until the founding of the Zirid kingdom in 1013 when it was surrounded by big walls.
In 1994, the Albaicín was declared World Heritage by UNESCO as an extension of the monuments of the Alhambra and Generalife.
In the Albaicín there are numerous monuments from different periods, mainly the nazari period and the Renaissance:
Ziri wall , established along the Sacromonte and Albaicín.
New door or door of Weights, the Grenadian people call and know it as arc of weights.
Fajalauza door in Cuesta de San Gregorio Alto, part of the wall.
