Tower of the End of the Street

The Tower of the End of the Street (Torre del Cabo de la Carrera) was so called because it was the limit of the Main Street (Calle Mayor) of the Alhambra. Only some remains of the tower are left, for it was destroyed by Napoleon's troops in 1812 when they left Granada.

It is located between the Tower of the Princesses and the Water Tower and, according to an inscription that has not been preserved, it was built or restored by the Catholic Monarchs in 1502.
