The hill upon which this grani

and, citadellike, it dominates the old
city of the Moorish kings. The en-
trance is gained by long and rather
steep ascent through a magnificent
grove of elm trees, in which nightin-

turn TO the left, and the visitor stands
before the Tower of Justice. Two
horseshoe like arches are sprung over
the ancient gateway, the outer arch
bearing on its keystone large hand.
On the inner arch is engraved a key
and the Moorish legend runs that the
Aikambra would never be taken by an
enemy until the hand should reach
through the arch and grasp the key,
