Abstract

This essay is focused on the study of the decoration of the Wine Gate (Puerta del Vino) of the Alhambra (Granada), which obviously can beinterpreted by means of the Islamic religion.

The elements used in the decoration are not only beau- tiful but, hold a more or less shadow meaning as well.

Therefore, it is necessary to use a depth analysis of the decorative pattern, the colours and so on. Concerning the Wine Gate the decorativeelements contain symbols refering to the Islamic paradise, that is the reason why we forward the hypothesis that this gate represents Paradise’sGate.
