Barrio Castrense - The Castrense Neighbourhood

The Barrio Castrense was constructed as a military barracks. It is located in  the Alhambra's Alcazaba (fortress). Its name translates to "Military Quarter" in Arabic. 

The soldiers stationed here were tasked with protecting the Alhambra and monitoring the city. The walls are the remains of houses which were  inhabited by the elite guards of the Alhambra, along with their families.
