Description
Pesas arch. XI century. Albaicin. Spain
El Arco or Puerta de las Pesas, well-known because it used to hang defective weights that the authorities seized from merchants, although in some documents it is also mentioned under the name of Bab al-Ziyada or Puerta del Ensanche. It was also called Puerta Nueva or Bib Cieda or Bab al-Ziyada (or Puerta del Ensanche) for having been closed for a long time because the Moors refused to use it due to a superstitious prediction, until 1573 when it was reopened, but its construction dates back to the century XI or first half of XII.
